Decision Maker: Planning Committee
Made at meeting: 03/04/2019 - Planning Committee
Decision published: 05/04/2019
Effective from: 03/04/2019
Decision:
RESOLVED (Yes: 8: No: 5)
That the planning application be refused for the following reasons:
1. The proposal constitutes inappropriate land use in the Green Belt. The applicant has failed to demonstrate very special circumstances to justify the proposal which would harm the character and openness of the Green Belt contrary to Green Belt policy. The benefits of the scheme insufficiently outweigh the harm to that landscape and as such, the proposed development is contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2018) and Policy G1 of the South Ribble Local Plan 2012-2026
2. The proposed development would result in an incongruous feature which if appropriately placed would result in overdevelopment of the site, and would be out of keeping with the immediate street scene to the detriment of to the character and appearance of the area. As such the proposal is considered to be contrary to Policy G17 of the South Ribble Local Plan 2012-2026 and Central Lancashire Core Strategy Policy 17

Decision published: 05/04/2019
Effective from: 03/04/2019
Decision:
RESOLVED: (Unanimously)
That the planning application be refused for the following reasons:
1. The proposed external development would be out of keeping with, and as a result harmful to the character and appearance of the immediate area and is therefore contrary to South Ribble Local Plan Policy G17(a & b)
2. The submission fails to demonstrate that internal and external use of the premises by virtue of noise, increased use and activity would not have an adverse impact on the amenities of neighbouring properties. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies B1(c) and G17(a) of the South Ribble Local Plan, Policy 17 (c & d) of the Central Lancashire Core Strategy
