To consider the above application.

Minutes:

Consideration was given to the above application.

 

(Councillor S Davies, the Ward Councilor, Mr P Cawood, an objector and Mr Goodwin, 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 use of the land for the siting of 34 twin caravan units to provide a chalet development with associated roads, hardstandings, lighting, cycle parking and an office/ shop building will result in the erosion of the character of this rural location, creating visual intrusion, away from any established settlement. 

 

2. To allow the development would be detrimental to the rural tranquillity of this area of open countryside and would erode the physical character of the location, detrimentally impacting on the appearance of the area, contrary to policies NE.2 (Open Countryside) and RT.6 (Recreation Uses in the Open Countryside) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011.

 

(This decision was against the Officers recommendation of approval).
