To consider the above planning application.
Minutes:
Note: The Planning Officer read a statement submitted by Councillor M Simon, one of the Ward Councillors, who had requested that the application be referred to the committee, but who was unable to attend the meeting.
Note: Mr A Beeston (applicant) attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on this matter.
The Committee considered a report and update regarding the above planning application.
RESOLVED – That the application be REFUSED for the following reason:
1. The Local Planning Authority considers that this piecemeal form of backland development by reason of the siting of the dwelling, the driveway/hardstanding, boundary treatment and loss of soft landscaping around the existing dwelling would result in a development which would not achieve a high standard of design and would detract from the pattern, character and form of the surroundings. As a result the development would be contrary to Policy BE.2 (Design Standards) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011 and the Council’s Supplementary Planning Document on Development on Backland and Gardens.
