Decision:
Permission in principal was refused for the following reason:
The proposed development would be located within the Green Belt as defined by the Chorley Local Plan 2012 – 2026. The proposed development is not considered to represent limited infilling and would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt and, therefore, harmful by definition. It is not considered that there are very special circumstances to overcome the definitional harm to the Green Belt. The proposal is, therefore, contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, Policy 1(f) of the Central Lancashire Core Strategy and policy HS7 of the Chorley Local Plan 2012 – 2026.
