The Committee considered a report regarding the above planning application.
RESOLVED – That the application be REFUSED for the following reason:
The Local Planning Authority considers that as the development fails to provide affordable housing, low cost market housing or a mix of housing and would not include renewable energy measures or low carbon/ energy efficiency measures, the proposals would represent a highly unsustainable form of development which would not contribute positively to the local housing market and would fail to meet local housing needs or contribute towards achieving sustainability objectives. In so doing the proposals would be contrary to policies BE.2 Design Standards within the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011, Policy EM18 within the North West of England Plan Regional Spatial Strategy to 2021 and guidance within the Interim Affordable Housing Statement 2011, Planning Policy Statement 3: Housing, Planning Policy Statement 1: Delivering Sustainable Development and Planning Policy Statement 1: Climate Change Supplement.
