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:
The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed development would result in an over intensive form of development that would have an adverse impact upon the setting of the Listed Building and the character of the area. As a result the proposed development is contrary to Policies GR1, GR2 and BH4 of the Congleton Borough Local Plan First Review 2005 and guidance contained within the NPPF.
