Decision:
RESOLVED: (Unanimously)
That the application be refused for the following reasons:
1. The construction of seven bungalows and a linked canopy to provide semi-dependant living accommodation and associated car park spaces within the curtilage designated as Green Belt would amount to disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original building and is therefore inappropriate development in Green Belt, which is contrary to Paragraph 145 criterion (c) of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Policy G1 criterion (c) of the South Ribble Local Plan.
2. The construction of seven bungalows and a linked canopy to provide semi-dependant living accommodation and associated car park spaces within the curtilage designated as Green Belt would be inappropriate development which would cause harm to the openness of the Green Belt, contrary to Paragraph 143 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
3. The proposed development is within the Consultation Distance of a major hazard pipeline. An assessment indicates that the risk of harm to people at the proposed development site is such that the HSE’s advice is that there are sufficient reasons on safety grounds for advising against the granting of planning permission in this case.
4. The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt. The applicant has not demonstrated ‘very special circumstances’ to justify the proposal. As such, the proposal is contrary to Paragraph 144 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Policy G1 of the South Ribble Local Plan.
