To consider the above planning application.
Minutes:
Note: Councillor S McGrory left the meeting prior to consideration of this application.
Note: Mr R Lee (on behalf of the applicant) had registered his intention to address the Committee on this matter but did not speak.
The Committee considered a report regarding the above planning application and a written update.
RESOLVED – That the application be REFUSED for the following reason:
The proposed residential development is unsustainable because it is located within the Green Gap, contrary to Policies NE.4, NE.2 and RES.5 of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Adopted Replacement Local Plan 2011 and the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework which seek to ensure development is directed to the right location and open countryside is protected from inappropriate development and maintained for future generations enjoyment and use. As such it and creates harm to interests of acknowledged importance. The Local Planning Authority can demonstrate a 5 year supply of housing land supply in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework. As such the application is also contrary to the emerging Development Strategy. Consequently, there are no material circumstances to indicate that permission should be granted contrary to the development plan.
