Issue - meetings

To consider the above planning application.

Note: Councillor Rachel Bailey (the Ward Councillor) attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on this matter.

The Committee considered a report regarding the above planning application.

RESOLVED – That the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:

1. The proposed dwelling and adjacent dwelling, Siloan, would be accessed from Barracks Lane with their parking and turning areas to the rear of those dwellings, which is immediately adjacent to the boundary with the rear garden space of No.3 Barracks Lane. This arrangement would result in demonstrable harm to the amenity of No.3 Barracks Lane through noise and disturbance from vehicular movements.  The proposed development would therefore be contrary to Policy BE.1 (Amenity) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011.

2. The proposals would result in an unacceptable erosion of the rear private amenity space of Siloan.  The proposed development would therefore be contrary to Policy BE.1 (Amenity) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011.

3. The siting of the dwelling would represent an undesirable relationship with side facing ground floor principal windows causing harm to the amenity of Siloan by reason of overdomination.  The proposed development would therefore be contrary to Policy BE.1 (Amenity) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011.
