To consider the minutes of the previous meeting(s).

With reference to Item 6 of the Minutes, it was requested that an update be brought to every meeting.

Resolved:                 That the minutes of the meeting held on 16 August, 2022 be agreed as a correct record.

This Item includes a supplementary report starting at page 27

Amended recommendation proposed by Cllr Holland and seconded by Cllr Hutchison.

The Committee did not agree with the officer’s recommendation to permit this application and following a lengthy debate, voted in favour of refusal.

Resolved:     That the application be refused for the following reason:

The site is not a sustainable location for further residential development by virtue of the limited public transport available, the best and most versatile agricultural land that would be lost and the harm to the character and appearance of the countryside. These harms weigh heavily against the development outweighing the contribution to housing supply that the scheme would make. The development would therefore be contrary to Policies CSP1, CSP4 and SP3 of the Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent Core Spatial Strategy 2006-2026, saved Policies N17 and N21 of the Newcastle-under-Lyme Local Plan 2011, Policies HG1 and NE1 of the Chapel and Hill Chorlton, Maer and Aston and Whitmore Neighbourhood Development Plan and the aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework (2021), including paragraph 174b.
