Councillor Phil Smith proposed refusal, seconded by Councillor Mary Green, on the grounds that the proposed development would be detrimental to neighbouring properties, was of poor design and that the proposal was therefore contrary to Policy G17 in the South Ribble Local Plan.

An amendment to the substantive motion was proposed by Councillor Will Adams, seconded by Councillor Gareth Watson, that the application be deferred to allow the applicant to submit revised drawings based on the discussions of the committee.

A vote on the amendment was taken and subsequently RESOLVED: (Unanimously)
