To consider the above planning application.
Minutes:
Note: Councillor S Davies left the meeting prior to consideration of this application.
The Committee considered a report regarding the above planning application and a written update. Committee members also expressed their appreciation of the comments received from Crewe Town Council.
RESOLVED – That, contrary to the planning officer’s recommendation for approval, the application be REFUSED for the following reason:
The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed development by reason of its height and scale would result in an overbearing impact upon the character and appearance of the area and street-scene. As a result the proposed development is contrary to Policy BE.2 (Design Standards) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011 and guidance contained within the NPPF.
