RESOLVED – That, contrary to the planning officer’s recommendation for approval, the application be REFUSED for the following reason:
The scale of the development to which this application relates is inappropriate in this location within an area of predominantly open rural countryside and as such is contrary to criterion (iii) of the Local Plan Policy H8, in particular the extension of the site further westwards and the parking area would have a detrimental effect upon the character and appearance of the surrounding locality contrary to Policies GR1 & GR2 of the adopted Congleton Borough Local Plan First Review.
