Minutes:
Note: Councillor I Faseyi (Ward Councillor), Mr A Aspinall and Mr J Abraham (objectors), and Mr A Hume (on behalf of the applicant) attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on this matter.
The Committee considered a report regarding the above planning application and a written update.
RESOLVED – That, contrary to the planning officer’s recommendation for approval, the application be REFUSED for the following reason:
The proposed change of use would result in the loss of an existing indoor leisure facility which is well used by the local residents, community groups and makes a positive contribution to the social and cultural life of that community. Given that it is the only such facility within the Crewe area it would have an adverse impact on the range of facilities available to local residents. No replacement facility is being proposed and in the interests of promoting healthy communities the development is considered contrary to Crewe & Nantwich Local Plan Policy RT15 and CF3 and paragraph 69 and 70 of the NPPF.
