To consider the above application. Minutes: Consideration was given to the above application. (Councillor L Clarke, Poynton Town Council, Patricia Parnell, representing Poynton Tenants Association and Mr P Jeffrey, the Architect for the agent). RESOLVED That the application be refused for the following reason:- The proposed development failed to achieve an adequate quality of design to justify approval of planning permission. Particular concerns were raised in respect of the overdevelopment of the site, the layout of the site (lack of space around the building), the back to back design of units and the overall appearance of the building. In reaching this conclusion regard was had to Planning Policy Statement 1- Delivering Sustainable Development, and policies BE1 & DC1- Design from the Macclesfield Borough Local Plan 2004. It was therefore concluded that the proposal would detract from the character and appearance of the area, within which the site is located and be contrary to development plan and national planning policies which seek to promote high quality and inclusive design. (This decision was contrary to the Officers recommendation of approval). (Prior to consideration of the following application Councillor Miss C M Andrew left the meeting and returned once consideration of the application had begun, as a result she did not take part in the debate or vote on the application).
