To consider the above planning application Minutes: Consideration was given to the above application.
(Councillor L Gilbert , the Ward Councillor, Parish Councillor John Halstead, representing Cranage Parish Council, Mr Jay Ashall, the agent for the Applicant and Mr Shaun Devaney, the agent for the applicant attended the meeting and spoke in respect of the application).
RESOLVED
That the application be refused for the following reasons:-
1. The proposed housing is contrary to the provisions of PS8 and H6 of the adopted Congleton Borough Local Plan 2005 and the advice given to the National Planning Policy Framework which restricts new housing development in the open countryside. As no need for the proposed community facilities has been demonstrated they can not form the basis for an enabling development exception to open countryside policy.
2. The proposed dwellings located to the Kings Lane frontage will result in the erosion of the landscaped character of this rural location. To allow the development would be detrimental to the visual amenity and landscape character of this area of open countryside, contrary to policies PS5 (Villages in Open Countryside and PS8 (Open Countryside) of the adopted Congleton Borough Local Plan First Review 2005.
3. The proposed site for the community facilities are in an isolated position away from the village of Cranage. Roads from the site to Cranage are unlit, do not have footways and do not have a frequent bus service. Accordingly users of the community facilities would be reliant upon the motor vehicle to access the site. This is contrary to Policy RC1 of the adopted Congleton Borough Local Plan First Review and the thrust of the NPPF in respect of sustainable development.
In the event of any changes being needed to the wording of the Board’s decision (such as to delete, vary or add conditions/informatives/planning obligations or reasons for approval/refusal) prior to the decision being issued, the Principal Planning Manager has delegated authority to do so in consultation with the Chairman of the Strategic Planning Board, provided that the changes do not exceed the substantive nature of the Board’s decision.
Should this application be the subject of an appeal, authority be delegated to the Interim Principal Planning Manager in consultation with the Chairman of the Strategic Planning Board to enter into a planning agreement in accordance with the S106 Town and Country Planning Act to secure the Heads of Termsfor a S106 Agreement.

(Councillor L Gilbert, the ward Councillor, Councillor A Kolker , the Ward Councillor, Parish Councillor H Thomas, representing Twemlow Parish Council, Bill Armstrong-Mortlock, representing Save Saltersford Corner and Jonathan Vose, the agent for the applicant attended the meeting and spoke in respect of the application).
RESOLVED
That the application be refused for the following reasons:-
1. The proposed residential development is unsustainable because it is located within the Open Countryside, contrary to Policy PS8 and H6 of the Congleton Borough Local Plan First Review 2005, Policy PG5 of the emerging Cheshire East Local Plan Strategy - Submission Version and the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework, which seek to ensure development is directed to the right location and open countryside is protected from inappropriate development and maintained for future generations enjoyment and use. As such it and creates harm to interests of acknowledged importance. The Local Planning Authority can demonstrate a 5 year supply of housing land in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework and consequently, there are no material circumstances to indicate that permission should be granted contrary to the development plan, to the emerging Development Strategy and the principles of the National Planning Policy since there are no material circumstances to indicate that permission should be granted contrary to the development plan.
2. The proposal would result in loss of the best and most versatile agricultural land and given that the Authority can demonstrate a housing land supply in excess of 5 years, the applicant has failed to demonstrate that there is a need for the development, which could not be accommodated elsewhere. The use of the best and most versatile agricultural land is inefficient and contrary to Policy SE2 of the emerging Cheshire East Local Plan Strategy - Submission Version and the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework.
In the event of any changes being needed to the wording of the Board’s decision (such as to delete, vary or add conditions/informatives/planning obligations or reasons for approval/refusal) prior to the decision being issued, the Planning and Place Shaping Manager has delegated authority to do so in consultation with the Chairman of the Strategic Planning Board, provided that the changes do not exceed the substantive nature of the Board’s decision.
Should this application be the subject of an appeal, authority be delegated to the Planning and Place Shaping Manager in consultation with the Chairman of the Strategic Planning Board to enter into a planning agreement in accordance with the S106 Town and Country Planning Act to secure the Heads of Terms for a S106 Agreement.
