Minutes:
Consideration was given to the above application.
(Councillor Miss C M Andrew, the Ward Councillor, Councillor F Keegan, the Ward Councillor, Parish Councillor Mrs S Reynolds, Chairman of Nether Alderely Parish Council, Mr Fowler, a representative of Alderley Rural Protection Organisation, Mr N Clayton, an objector, Mr D Barraclough, an objector and Mr Holmes, 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 proposals represent inappropriate development in the Green Belt and are contrary to Macclesfield Borough Local Plan Policy GC1 and the advice of Planning Policy Guidance Note 2. The proposals are also considered to be harmful to the character and openness of the Green Belt and there are no special circumstances to justify development in the Green Belt.
2. The application has insufficient information to mitigate harm to protected species as well as being contrary to Local Plan Policy NE11 and Planning Policy Statement 9.
3. Due to the lack of a legal agreement and therefore the inability to secure the restrictions on retailing as per the originally approved scheme and the inability to secure future maintenance in perpetuity of the landscaping, the proposed scheme would result in an uncontrolled retail use which will impact on the wider area contrary to Local Plan Policy S2 and National Planning Policy PPS6, while the future maintenance in perpetuity of any proposed landscaping similarly cannot be secured to the detriment of the scheme and the character of the area contrary to Local Plan Policy NE3.
(Prior to consideration of the following applciation Councillors Mrs R Bailey, D Brown and W J Macrae declared that they had pre determined agenda item 64 ‘Future Housing Provision Cheshire East’ by virtue of the fact that as Cabinet Members they had already made a decision on the item as a result they left the meeting prior to consideration of that item and did not return).
