To consider the above application. Minutes: Consideration was given to the above application.
(Councillor A Farrall, the Ward Councillor, Mr Breewood, an objector, David Ouattara, an objector and Andrew Jalali, the agent for 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 is contrary to saved Policies BE15, BE17, BE18 and BE19 in the Macclesfield Borough Local Plan and Policies SD 2, SE 1 SE 7 of the Cheshire East Local Plan Strategy, causing harm to the objectives of those policies due to an adverse impact on the character, appearance and historic interest of the building and setting of the adjacent listed building by reason of its height, scale and form. The proposal is similarly contrary to national planning policy and guidance relating to listed buildings.
2. The proposed extensions would cause loss of light and an overbearing impact to the detriment of the amenities of the occupiers of nearby residential property, particularly numbers 39 Crompton Road and 1 Pownall Square. The approval of the development would therefore be contrary to saved Policies DC3 and DC38 of the Macclesfield Borough Local Plan and Policy SE 1 of the Cheshire East Local Plan Strategy.
3. The development would be detrimental to the interests of highway safety through an increase in parking taking place in unsuitable locations on the highway or within the site, taking account of the nature of the proposed development, the location of the site and the predicted number of parked vehicles arising from the development contrary to saved Policy DC6 of the Macclesfield Borough Local Plan, Appendix C and Policy SD 1 of the Cheshire East Local Plan Strategy.
In order to give proper effect to the Northern Committee`s intent and without changing the substance of its decision, authority is delegated to the Head of Planning in consultation with the Chair (or in their absence the Vice Chair) to correct any technical slip or omission in the resolution, before issue of the decision notice.
