Agenda item

To consider the above planning application.

Note: The Principal Planning Officer drew Committee Members’ attention to the written update, which set out the Inspector’s views on the further modifications needed to the Cheshire East Local Plan Strategy.  The Inspector’s recommendations meant that more weight could be attributed to the emerging policies of the Cheshire East Local Plan Strategy and housing supply policies which were deemed out of date by the absence of a 5 year supply.
