To consider the above application. Minutes: Consideration was given to the above application.
(Councillor D Brickhill, the Ward Councillor, Trevor Frizell, an objector, John Borrowdale, an objector representing Morning Foods, Alison Freeman, the agent for the applicant and Donald Quinn, the agent’s acoustic consultant attended the meeting and spoke in respect of the application).
RESOLVED
That the application be refused.
The Council acknowledge that housing applications should be considered in the context of the presumption in favour of sustainable development, the lack of a five year land supply of deliverable housing sites in Cheshire East, plus the planning benefits new housing would bring. However:
- The proposed development, by reason of the increased vehicular movements, would further worsen highway safety on Crewe Road, Gresty Road and Nantwich Road, contrary to Policy BE.3 (Access and Parking) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011.
- The proposed development would create an unsatisfactory proximity and relationship with surrounding industrial uses and the railway. This would limit the future operation of the surrounding businesses and detrimentally affect the amenity of future residents because of noise and unsatisfactory living environment, contrary to Policy BE.1 (Amenity) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011.
These adverse impacts would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the proposal and would therefore be contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework.
(This decision was contrary to the Officers recommendation of approval).
(Prior to consideration of the following item, Councillors P Hoyland and C Thorley left the meeting and did not return). |
