RESOLVED (11:3:0) – That full planning permission be refused on the grounds that the site was being used for agricultural uses and, therefore, not previously developed land, the proposals constituted inappropriate development in the Green Belt, and hazards on the proposed vehicular access to the site. |

17/00792/OUTMAJ - Land South of Parr Lane, Eccleston PDF 366 KB Additional documents: Decision: Outline planning permission refused. Minutes: Registered speakers: Norman Frith (objector) and Mr Alexis De Pol (agent)
RESOLVED (unanimously) – That outline planning permission be refused for the reason in the report as set out below;
1. The proposed development would be located within an area of Safeguarded Land as defined by the Chorley Local Plan 2012 – 2026. The Council has a five year housing supply as required by the National Planning Policy Framework. The proposal therefore conflicts with policy BNE3 of the Chorley Local Plan 2012 – 2026. It is not considered that the material considerations put forward in favour of the development, either individually or collectively, outweigh the policy presumption against it. The application was therefore contrary to the Framework and Chorley Local Plan in respect of Policy BNE3. |

RESOLVED (12:1:2) – That full planning permission be refused for the reasons in the report as set out below;
1. The proposed stable building would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt and therefore harmful by definition. There would also be other harm to the Green Belt through encroachment into the countryside. It is not considered that there are very special circumstances to overcome the definitional harm to the Green Belt and additional harm caused through encroachment. The proposal is therefore contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework. |

17/00638/CB4 - 5 Worcester Place, Chorley, PR7 4AP PDF 323 KB Additional documents: Decision: Planning permission refused. Minutes: Registered speakers: Robert Burns (objector) and Steven Hoyle (applicant)
RESOLVED (unanimously) – That planning permission be refused for the reasons in the report as set out below;
1) In accordance with Paragraph 87 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), the proposed dwelling constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt. Inappropriate development is, by definition, harmful to the Green Belt and should not be approved except in very special circumstances. In accordance with the paragraph 88 of the NPPF, substantial weight is given to any harm to the Green Belt. ‘Very special circumstances’ will not exist unless the potential harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations. No very special circumstances have been presented to outweigh the harm to the Green belt. The proposed development is therefore contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework and the Chorley Local Plan 2012 – 2026.
2) The proposal would not maintain or enhance the appearance of the previously developed land and so conflicts with policy BNE5 of the Adopted Chorley Local Plan 2012-2026. |
