The Head of Planning and Development submitted a report concerning an application for planning permission for the creation of new private way, and erection of fencing, gates and associated landscaping.

 

It was moved and seconded that planning permission be refused.

            RESOLVED:  That planning permission be refused for the following reasons:

 

            The proposed track, by virtue of the siting, design and appearance would result in the visual subdivision of the site through the creation of a permanent access track, harmful to the open rural character of the site, to the detriment of the visual amenity and character of the area, the proposal is therefore contrary to L7 of the Trafford Core Strategy and guidance on good design within the NPPF.
