To consider the above planning application.

Note: Mr C Bowen attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on behalf of the applicant.

The Committee considered a report regarding the above planning application and a written update.

RESOLVED

(a)  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 Policies NE.2 and RES.5 of the Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011 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, consequently the application is premature to the emerging Development Strategy since there are no material circumstances to indicate that permission should be granted contrary to the development plan.

2.    There are a number of trees located onto the boundaries of the site (including TPO trees) and no arboricultural information has been provided to assess the impact upon these trees. Furthermore the indicative layout does not demonstrate that the proposed development can be accommodated on the site without resulting in the loss or future pressures to remove the trees which would be harmful to nature conservation and the character and appearance of the area. The development would be contrary to Policy NE.5 (Nature Conservation and Habitats) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011 and the NPPF.

3.    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 unsustainable and contrary to Policy NE.12 of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local plan 2011 and the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework.

4.    The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed development by reason of incursion of built form into the open countyside and Area of Special County Value, would detract from the generally open and rural landscape of the site and wider area. This would be a harmful effect which would fail to take account of the different roles and character of different areas or recognise the intrinsic character and beauty of the countryside and ASCV. The development would be contrary to policies NE.2 (Open Countryside), NE.3 (Areas of Special County Value) and BE.2 (Design Standards) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011 and guidance contained within the NPPF.

(b) That, in order to give proper effect to the Committee’s intentions and without changing the substance of the decision, authority be delegated to the Principal Planning Manager, in consultation with the  ...  view the full minutes text for item 73.

(a) That the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:

To consider the above planning application.

The Committee considered a report regarding the above planning application and a written update.

RESOLVED

(a)  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 Policies NE.2 (Open Countryside) and RES.5 (Housing in Open Countryside) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan, Policy PG 5 of the Cheshire East Local Plan Strategy – Submission Version and the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework and create 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. As such the application is also contrary to the emerging Development Strategy. Consequently, there are no material circumstances to indicate that permission should be granted contrary to the development plan.

2.           In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, the proposed development would cause a significant erosion of the Green Gap between the built up areas of Shavington and Crewe and would adversely affect the visual character of the landscape which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the scheme notwithstanding a shortfall in housing land supply. The development is therefore contrary to Policy NE4 (Green Gaps) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011 and guidance contained within the NPPF.

3.           Insufficient information has been submitted with the application to determine if the proposal would involve the removal of an “important” hedgerow as defined in the Hedgerow Regulations 1997. As the Local Planning Authority can demonstrate a 5 year supply of housing land there are overriding reasons for allowing the development. Therefore the scheme is contrary to Policy NE.5 OF THE Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011 and guidance contained within the NPPF.

4.           Insufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate that this development together with other committed development in Shavington would not have a severe impact upon the local highway network. As a result the proposed development would be contrary to Policy BE.3 (Access and Parking) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011 and the NPPF.

(b) That, in order to give proper effect to the Committee’s intentions and without changing the substance of the decision, authority be delegated to the Principal Planning Manager, in consultation with the Chairman (or in her absence the Vice Chairman) of Southern Planning Committee, to correct any technical slip or omission in the wording of the resolution, between approval of the minutes and issue of the decision notice.
