Meeting: 02/02/2011 - Southern Planning Committee (Item 152)
PDF 951 KBTo consider the above planning application.
Minutes:
Note: Councillor C Thorley (Ward Councillor) attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on this matter.
The Committee considered a report, a written update and an oral report of a site inspection in respect of the above planning application.
RESOLVED: That the application be REFUSED for the following reason -
The application site is defined as an area of open space with recreational or amenity value where there is strict control over new development. The submitted application does not adequately assess the need for bowling greens within Crewe in accordance with the companion guide to PPG17. Even if the results of RT.1 Assessment were accepted they do not show that there is an excess of bowling greens in the area and the application does not propose a replacement facility in a suitable location. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy RT.1 (Protection of Open Space with Recreational or Amenity Value) of the Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011, PPS1 (Delivering Sustainable Development), PPG17 (Planning for Open Space, Sport and Recreation) and advice contained within the Sport England Statement ‘Planning for Sport and Active Recreation: Objectives and Opportunities’.
