Declarations of Interest Members are requested to indicate at this stage in the proceedings any items on the agenda in which they intend to declare an interest. Members are reminded that if the interest is a Disclosable Pecuniary Interest (as defined in the Members’ Code of Conduct) they must leave the room for the whole of that item. If the interest is not a Disclosable Pecuniary Interest, but is such that a member of the public could reasonably regard it as being so significant that it is likely that it would prejudice their judgment of the public interest (as explained in the Code of Conduct) then they may make representations, but then must leave the meeting for the remainder of the item. Minutes: Councillors Will Adams and Harry Hancock declared personal interests in item 11 – Penwortham Arts Centre, The Venue, Liverpool Road, Penwortham over the course of the meeting. |

07/2020/00505/OUT - Land to the rear of Oakdene, Chain House Lane, Whitestake PDF 542 KB Report of the Director of Planning and Property attached. Additional documents:
Decision: RESOLVED: (Unanimously)
That the application be refused for the following reasons:
1. the application site is allocated as Safeguarded Land through Policy G3 of the South Ribble Local Plan. The proposal by virtue of its nature, scale and degree of permanence would be contrary to Policy G3 of the South Ribble Local Plan, to which substantial weight should attach. The Council can demonstrate a 5-year housing supply, which should be calculated against the Local Housing Need figure of 191 d/pa. Applying the tilted balance, the proposal does not constitute sustainable development. Material considerations do not justify the conflict with the development plan; and
2. the proposal by virtue of its nature, scale and degree of permanence would be contrary to Policy G3 of the South Ribble Local Plan as the development would harm the ability of the Council to manage the comprehensive development of the area. Therefore, the scheme would not amount to a sustainable form of development.
