Decision details

RESOLVED: (Unanimously)

That planning permission be refused for the following reasons:

1.    The proposal, by virtue of the introduction of metal shipping containers for use as a storage facility, would not be conducive to the residential area in which the application site is located. A view of the application proposal would be afforded in the wider street scene of Liverpool Road which would result in an inacceptable level of harm to the character of the area, contrary to Policy G17 in the South Ribble Local Plan.

2.    It is considered that the proposal would result in an increased level of activity to the parking and unloading area adjacent and in close proximity to the residential boundary of 250 Liverpool Road, contrary to Policy G17 in the South Ribble Local Plan.

3.    The proposal would have a detrimental impact on the residential amenity of neighbouring properties by virtue of the proposed use adjacent to residential boundaries and resulting in noise and disturbance, contrary to Policy 17 in the Central Lancashire Core Strategy and Policy G17 in the South Ribble Local Plan.
