Issue - meetings

Report of the Director of Development and Place attached.

RESOLVED: (Unanimously)

That the application be refused because the application site is considered to be in an unsustainable location due to the distance from the nearest shops and services, the absence of nearby public transport and the lack of connection to nearby settlements. The proposed development therefore does not represent sustainable development and does not comply with Chapter 9 (Promoting sustainable transport) - particularly paragraphs 102c, 103, 105 and 108 of the National Planning Policy Framework, Central Lancashire Core Strategy Policy 3 (Travel) and Local Plan Chapter F (Catering for sustainable travel).
