Officer contact: Jane Chase on 474 3550 or email: jane.chase@stockport.gov.uk

In respect of plan no. 64515 for 2 No. 5 bedroom detached houses with 2 No. parking bays for each house at Foden Lane, Woodford,

a member of the public spoke against the application; and

a representative of the applicant spoke in support of the application.

It was then

RESOLVED – (4 for, 1 against) That planning permission be refused on the grounds that the proposed development by virtue of its location within the Green Belt would constitute inappropriate development which is, by definition, harmful to the Green Belt and in the absence of 'very special circumstances' sufficient to outweigh harm by reason of inappropriateness and any other harm, the proposal would reduce the openness of the Green Belt; and that the public right of way which serves this site is, by virtue of its restricted width, lack of passing places and substandard alignment and lack of pedestrian visibility at its junction with Moor Lane, unsuitable for the intensification in use that would arise from the development.
