To consider the above planning application.
Minutes:
Note: Councillor W T Beard (Ward Councillor), Mrs S Briscoe (objector) and Mr R Peart (applicant) each addressed the Committee on this matter. Having addressed the Committee, Councillor Beard withdrew from the meeting during consideration of this item.
The Committee considered a report in respect of the above planning application.
RESOLVED: That the application be REFUSED for the following reason:
The proposed development represents an unacceptable form of development. The siting of the bedroom windows within 1m of the site boundaries would have a significant adverse impact upon the amenity of future occupants by reason of poor outlook and lack of natural light which is an indication that the proposed dwelling is too large and constitutes an overdevelopment of the site. In so doing, the proposals are contrary to Policies RES.2 (Unallocated Housing Sites), BE.1 (Amenity) within the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011 and guidance with the SPD Development on Backland and Gardens and recent amendments to PPS3 Housing.
