(Mr Sparrow, representing CPRE, Mr Vendy, representing an objector, Mr P Yates, a Supporter and Mr Wren, the applicant attended the meeting and spoke in respect of the application).
RESOLVED
That the application be refused for the following reasons:-
1. The proposal is an inappropriate form of development within the Green Belt, as defined by the Development Plan. The development is therefore contrary to policy GC1 of the Macclesfield Borough Local Plan and would cause harm to the objectives of those policies by virtue of the fact that having regard to the overall scale, design and appearance, the proposed replacement dwelling is materially larger than the existing dwelling. The development is similarly contrary to national policy guidance relating to development within the Green Belt. It is not considered that very special circumstances exist to justify the approval of inappropriate development in the Green Belt.
2. The proposed development, by reason of its size, siting and design, would form a visually obtrusive feature which would detract from the rural character and appearance of the area within which it is located. The approval of the development would therefore be contrary to national planning policy guidance, North West of England Plan Regional Spatial Strategy to 2021 policies DP7 & EM1 and Macclesfield Borough Local Plan policies BE1 and DC1, thereby causing harm to the objectives of those policies.
