Issue - meetings

Report of the Director of Planning and Property attached.

RESOLVED: (Unanimously)

That the application be refused for the following reasons:

1.    the siting of the proposed dwelling and the relationship of the boundary treatment of the garden areas to Nos. 5 and 6 East Square would appear an incongruous feature in the street scene and, as such, is contrary to Policy G17 of the South Ribble Local Plan; and

2.    the scale and siting of the proposed dwelling would have a detrimental impact upon adjacent residential properties by undue loss of private amenity space, privacy, overshadowing and would appear overbearing. As such, the proposal is contrary to Policy G17 of the South Ribble Local Plan.
