07/2018/6475/FUL - Daub Hall Lane and Gregson Lane PDF 1 MB Report of the Director of Planning and Property attached. Additional documents:
Decision: RESOLVED: (Yes: 10 No: 0 Abstain: 1)
That the application be refused for the following reasons:
1. The proposed residential element of the proposal constitutes inappropriate development in an area of Protected Open Land. As such, the proposal is contrary to Policy G4 of the South Ribble Local Plan 2012-2026.
2. The proposed residential element of the proposal would introduce development into open grass fields and would result in unacceptable urbanisation of the area as detrimental to the character, appearance and openness of the Protected Open Land and extended area. As such, the proposal is contrary to Policy G4 of the South Ribble Local Plan 2012-2026.
3. The proposal fails to make adequate provision for affordable housing. This is contrary to Policy 7 of the Central Lancashire Core Strategy, which aims to provide a balanced, mixed and inclusive housing offer that caters for all housing needs. The provision of funding for a community centre at the expense of affordable housing provision has not been justified.
4. The material benefits associated with the proposed community centre do not outweigh the harms identified in Reasons 1, 2, and 3 and do not outweigh the development plan policies identified in those reasons. Minutes: Speakers: 5 objectors, 5 supporters, and the Agent (Mr Alban Cassidy)
