The Committee considered a report regarding the above planning application.
RESOLVED – That, contrary to the planning officer’s recommendation for approval, the application be REFUSED for the following reason:
Due to the difference in ground levels, the proposed dwelling on plot number 3 would be overly dominant in terms of its relationship with number 44 Marsh Lane, Nantwich, and would result in an unacceptable loss of residential amenity to that property, as a result of overshadowing and visual intrusion. It is therefore deemed to be contrary to Policy BE.1 of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich replacement Local Plan 2011 and the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework which requires the integration of new development into the built environment and states that permission should be refused for development of poor design that fails to take the opportunities available for improving the character and quality of an area and the way it functions.
