The Committee considered a report regarding the above planning application, an update and an oral report of the site inspection.
RESOLVED
That, contrary to the planning officer’s recommendation for approval, the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:
1. The proposed development represents a poor form of development that would have an unsatisfactory proximity and relationship with the surrounding business/industrial uses and railway line. As a result, there would be a detrimental impact upon the future occupiers of the proposed dwellings through noise and disturbance and the proposed residential use would limit the current and future operation of the adjacent factory. Therefore, the development is not compatible with surrounding land uses and is contrary to Policy BE.1 (Amenity) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011 which states that development should not prejudice the amenity of future occupiers by reason of overshadowing, overlooking, visual intrusion, noise and disturbance, odour or in any other way.
2. The proposed development would result in an increased demand for primary school places in the area. As part of this proposed development there is no offer of a contribution to increase the capacity of primary schools in the area. As a result the proposed development would not make adequate provision for infrastructure/community facilities and the development would be contrary to Policy BE.5 (Infrastructure) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011 that seeks to make adequate provision for infrastructure and community facilities.
3. The proposed development by reason of the poor visibility at the site access point onto Crewe Road would result in an unsatisfactory vehicular access/egress arrangements which would be harmful to highway safety. Furthermore the development would result in a significant increase in vehicular movements from the site which would have a harmful impact upon the local transport network in particular the junction of A534 Nantwich Road/South Street/Mill Street which already exceeds capacity. It is not considered that the proposed financial contribution towards off-site improvements at this junction would be satisfactory to off-set this impact. As a result the proposed development would be contrary to Policies BE.3 (Access and Parking) and BE.5 (Infrastructure) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011 that seek to secure safe vehicular access and egress and to make adequate provision for infrastructure.
During consideration of this item, Councillor Brown left the meeting and returned prior to consideration of the next item.

To consider the above planning application. Minutes: Mr S Holme and Ms P Cooley (objectors), Mr C Hughes (supporter) and Mr N Wheeler (on behalf of G L Hearn - the agent) attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on this matter.
The Committee considered a report regarding the above planning application and a written update.

That the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:

The siting of the service yard adjacent to number 8 Southway, a Grade II Listed Building, would have an unacceptable impact on the setting of that building by virtue of its proximity, boundary treatments and associated activities relating to the proposed store. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy BH4 of the adopted Congleton Borough Local Plan First Review 2005.
