08/0731/OUT – Outline Planning Application with all Matters Reserved other than Access and Development of Four 464m sq Units and up to 108 Dwellings at Cardway Cartons LTD, Linley Lane, Alsager
Minutes:
Councillor D Hough declared a personal interest in this application as he had determined it as a member of Congleton Borough Council. In accordance with the Code of Conduct he remained in the meeting but took no part in the discussion or voting.
The planning application had been refused on two grounds: (1) unacceptable loss of employment land; and (2) insufficient assessment of housing land provision in connection with part of the land protected as open space. Having re-examined the merits of the second refusal reason in the light of the grounds of appeal, Officers recommended that it be withdrawn.
RESOLVED:
That the Council offer no evidence at the forthcoming planning inquiry regarding reason No. 2.
The meeting moved back into Part 1 and the public and press were re-admitted.
