To consider the above application.

Consideration was given to the above application.

(Parish Councillor David Craig, representing Wrenbury-cum-Frith Parish Council and David Edwards, an objector attended the meeting and spoke in respect of the application).

RESOLVED

That the application be refused for the following reasons:-

1.         The proposed development would be unable to provide a safe and suitable access to and from Nantwich Road and into the village of Wrenbury.  This would result in a severe and unacceptable impact in terms of road safety. The development is therefore contrary to Policies SD1 (Sustainable Development in Cheshire East) and SD2 (Sustainable Development Principles) of the Cheshire East Local Plan Strategy and Policy BE.3 (Access and Parking) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011 and paragraph 32 of the National Planning Policy Framework and the technical guidance within Manual for Streets, which states that decisions should take account of whether safe and suitable access to the site can be achieved for all people, respectively.

2.         The proposed residential development is unsustainable because it is located within the Open Countryside contrary to Policies PG6 (Open Countryside), SD1 (Sustainable Development in Cheshire East) and SD2 (Sustainable Development Principles) of the Cheshire East Local Plan Strategy and Policy RES.5 (Housing in the Open Countryside) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan, 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.

3.         The proposed development including the hedgerow loss as part of the proposed highways works would have some adverse impact upon the visual character and openness of the landscape/countryside. As such the proposed development is contrary to Policies PG6 (Open Countryside), SD1 (Sustainable Development in Cheshire East), SD2 (Sustainable Development Principles), SE3 (Biodiversity and Geodiversity), SE4 (The Landscape) and SE5 (Trees, Hedgerows and Woodland) of the Cheshire East Local Plan Strategy and Policy NE.5 (Nature Conservation and Habitats) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan, and the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework.

In order to give proper effect to the Board`s intentions and without changing the substance of the decision, authority is delegated to the Head of Planning (Regulation), in consultation with the Chairman (or in her absence the Vice Chairman) of Strategic Planning Board, to correct any technical slip or omission in the wording of the resolution, between approval of the minutes and issue of the decision notice.

Should the application be subject to an appeal, the following Heads of Terms should be secured as part of any S106 Agreement:-

1. A scheme for the provision of 30% affordable housing – 65% to be provided as social rent/affordable rent with 35% intermediate tenure. The scheme shall include:

- The numbers, type, tenure and location on the site of the affordable housing provision

- The timing of the construction of the affordable housing and its phasing in relation to  ...  view the full minutes text for item 32.

To consider the above report.

Consideration was given to the above report.
