To consider the above planning application.

Minutes:

Note: Ms L Robertson attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on behalf of the applicant.

 

The Committee considered a report regarding the above planning application.

 

RESOLVED

 

(a)     That, contrary to the planning officer’s recommendation for approval, the application be REFUSED for the following reason:

 

          It is considered that the harm to the Open Countryside is not outweighed by the benefits of the proposed development, given its poor layout and design resulting in the lack of satisfactory opportunities for children’s play. The development is therefore deemed to be contrary to Policies PG6 (Open Countryside), SE1 (Design), SC3 (Health and Wellbeing), SD1 (Sustainable Development in Cheshire East), and SD2 (Sustainable Development Principles) of the Cheshire East Local Plan Strategy, and saved Policy RT3 of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011.

 

(b)     That, in order to give proper effect to the Committee’s intentions and without changing the substance of the decision, authority be delegated to the Head of Development Management, following consultation with the Chairman (or in his absence the Vice Chairman) of Southern Planning Committee, to correct any technical slip or omission in the wording of the resolution, before issue of the decision notice.

 

(c)     That, should this application be subject to an appeal, approval be given to enter into a S106 Agreement with the following Heads of Terms:
