To consider the above planning application.

Minutes:

Note: Dr P Griffiths (on behalf of Sound & District Parish Council), Mr D Lowe(on behalf of a local representative group), Mrs R High (objector) and Mr P Bradbury (applicant) attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on this matter.

 

The Committee considered a report regarding the above planning application, a written update and an oral update by the Principal Planning Officer confirming the increase in the depth of the dwelling to be 0.675m.

 

The meeting was adjourned for two minutes during the debate to enable officers to confirm the increase in size of the garage, during which no Members left the room.

 

RESOLVED – That, contrary to the planning officer’s recommendation for approval, the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:

 

  1. The increase in the dimensions of the proposed dwelling and its re-location closer to existing properties would create an overbearing feature within the streetscene, contrary to Policy BE.2 (Design Standards) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Adopted Replacement Local Plan 2011 and the design advice within the NPPF.

 

2. The increase in the dimensions of the proposed dwelling and its re-location closer to existing properties would have an adverse impact upon the amenity and living conditions of neighbouring occupiers in particular Corner Cottage, contrary to Policy BE.1 (Amenity) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Adopted Replacement Local Plan 2011 and paragraph 17 of the NPPF.
