PLANNING officers have voted overwhelmingly to refuse an application from a housing developer to open up a already busy lane in Middlewich to construction traffic, saying it poses a road safety risk. In a strongly worded riposte to the application, Cllr Mike Hunter, Chair of Cheshire East Council s Strategic Planning Board, said accepting the plan would be dangerous and that he wasn t prepared for the developers to ride roughshod over the council and its authority. Seven members of the committee voted to refuse the application, which would have allowed construction traffic to use Warmington Lane to access the Taylor Wimpey site Glebe Farm site.
