To consider the above planning application. Minutes: Note: Mr Alexander McCallion (agent for the applicant) attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on this matter.
The Committee considered a report (together with an oral update on the site visit) regarding the above planning application.
RESOLVED
That the application be refused for the following reason:-
In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority the condition is necessary, and without it the application would not have complied with the relevant development plan policies BE.3 (Access and Parking), TRAN.3: (Pedestrians), TRAN.5 (Provision for Cyclists) and would have been refused. The condition is also considered to be, relevant to planning; relevant to the development to be permitted; enforceable and precise. Whilst the University’s financial position is noted, having regard to the advice in PPS1 in respect of financial hardship, and the extent of the works required it is not considered that the condition places an unreasonable burden on the University. It considered that the amenity impact of the new cycle and pedestrian path would be minimal and for these reasons the condition is considered to be reasonable in all other respects. The condition therefore complies with all 6 tests as set out in Circular 11/95 and should be retained.

To consider the above planning application. Minutes: Note: Councillor J Hammond (Ward Councillor) and Mr Tutty (representing the applicant) attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on this matter.
The Committee considered a report (together with an oral update) regarding the above planning application.
RESOLVED
That the application be refused for the following reasons:-
1. The proposed development relates to a newly created rural business and the Local Planning Authority considers that the applicant has failed to demonstrate that the there is a clearly established functional need, that the development meets the financial test specified within Annex A of PPS7 and that the applicant has the ability to develop the enterprise. As a result the variation of the condition would not be acceptable as it has not been possible to establish that the stated intentions are genuine, are reasonably likely to materialise and are capable of being sustained for a reasonable period of time. To allow the development would be contrary to the provisions of PPS 7 (Sustainable Development in Rural Areas) and Policies RES.5 (Housing in the Open Countryside) and RES.6 (Agricultural and Forestry Occupancy Conditions) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011.
2. The Local Planning Authority considers that there is insufficient land to serve a stable block of the size proposed for this enterprise in accordance with guidance given by the British Horse Society. In the absence of a detailed justification to explain how the enterprise would operate under such circumstances the proposed stable block by reason of its size and scale would result in an overdevelopment of the site and an unwarranted intrusion into the open countryside that would harm its character and appearance. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to Policies NE.2 (Open Countryside) and RT.6 (Recreational Uses in the Open Countryside) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011.
