Report of Director Partnerships, Planning and Policy (attached).

Full planning permission refused.

(The Committee received representation from an objector to the proposals and a support to the proposals.)

Application:                  10/00674/FUL

Proposal:                     Proposed single storey extension to front of house to provide disabled living facilities

Location:                     5 Hawthorne Close, Clayton-le-Woods, Chorley

Decision:

It was proposed by Councillor Simon Moulton, seconded by Councillor David Dickinson and subsequently RESOLVED – To refuse full planning permission for the following reason:

 1.     It is considered that a combination of height, proximity to the boundary and extent of the proposed development will have an overbearing effect on the neighbouring properties (with particular regard to No. 17 Bay Tree Road) and will dominate views theses dwellings and their associated private amenity space. The proposed development will result in an uncomfortable and unacceptable sense of enclosure to the occupiers of the adjacent properties and is therefore contrary to policy HS9 of the Adopted Chorley Borough Local Plan Review 2003.
