Issue - meetings

To consider the above application.

Consideration was given to the above application.

(Mrs Thompson, an objector and Mr Still, the applicant attended the meeting and spoke in respect of the application).

RESOLVED

That the application be refused for the following reasons:-

1. The proposal, by reason of its siting, scale, mass and design, represents an incongruous feature in the street scene, out of context with the environment and neighbouring properties and as such would be harmful to the street scene. As such the proposal is contrary to Polices GR1, GR2 and GR3 of the Congleton Borough Local Plan First Review.

2. The proposal, by reason of its close proximity to the southern boundary, scale and design, would, when viewed from Sandbach Park, appear obtrusive and would visually intrude into the park, to the detriment of the openness and character of the area, contrary to policy GR1, GR2, and GR3 of the Congleton Local Plan First Review.
