Declarations of Any Interests

Members are reminded of their responsibility to declare any personal interest in respect of matters contained in this agenda. If the interest arises only as result of your membership of another public body or one to which you have been appointed by the Council then you only need to declare it if you intend to speak.

 

If the personal interest is a prejudicial interest, you must withdraw from the meeting. Normally you should leave the room before the business starts to be discussed. You do, however, have the same right to speak as a member of the public and may remain in the room to enable you to exercise that right and then leave immediately. In either case you must not seek to improperly influence a decision on the matter.

10/00131/FULMAJ - Land 400m East of 41 Wigan Lane, Coppull, Lancashire pdf icon PDF 87 KB

Report of the Director of Partnership, Planning and Policy (enclosed).

Additional documents:

Decision:

Refused planning permission.

Minutes:

(The Committee received representations from an objector to the proposals)

 

(The Committee received representations from a neighbouring Ward Councillor objecting to the proposals)

 

Application No:            10/00131/FULMAJ

Proposal:                     Retrospective application for continued use of land for recreational paintball games, retention of ancillary structures and car parking (resubmission of withdrawn application 09/00525/FUL)

Location:                     Land 400m East of 41 Wigan Lane, Coppull, Lancashire

Decision:

 

It was proposed by Councillor June Molyneaux, seconded by Councillor Roy Lees and subsequently unanimously RESOLVED – To refuse full retrospective planning permission for the following reason:

 

1.            The proposed development would be located within the Green Belt. The development site is also set within an accessible area with several public footpaths with views into the site. The development on site incorporates buildings within the definition of the Town & County Planning Act 1990 used in association with the use applied for and these buildings represent inappropriate development within the Green Belt (para 3.4 PPG2) and do not represent essential facilities as defined within para 3.5 of PPG2. The proposal is not therefore considered to be in accordance with Planning Policy Guidance note 2 and reiterated by Chorley Borough Local Plan Review Policy DC1 in terms of material change in the use of the land due to the facilities associated with the use. It is not considered that the applicant has put forward a case for very special circumstances that outweighs the total harm to the Green Belt to justify permitting the proposal. It is also considered contrary to PPG17 in that the facilities associated with the development are above what are considered essential.

Report of the Director of Partnerships, Planning and Policy (enclosed).

Additional documents:

Decision:

Refused planning permission.

Minutes:

Councillor Alan Cullens declared a prejudicial interest and left the meeting for the duration of this item.

 

(The Committee received representations from an objector to the proposals and representations in support of the proposals from the applicants agent)

 

(The Committee received representations from a Ward Councillor objecting to the proposals)

 

Application No:          10/00770/FUL

Proposal:                   Erection of five 3-bedroom houses and four 2-bedroom apartments and associated works

Location:                    Land bounded by Park Road and 1 Acresfield, Adlington, Lancashire

Decision:

 

It was proposed by Councillor June Molyneaux, seconded by Councillor Roy Lees to refuse planning permission on the grounds that the need for affordable housing did not outweigh the loss of play area.

 

An amendment to the motion was proposed to approve planning permission by Councillor David Dickinson, seconded by Councillor Geoffrey Russell and upon being put to the vote the motion was lost (4:5).

 

The original motion was put to the vote and was won (5:4) and so subsequently RESOLVED – To refuse planning permission for the following reason:

 

1.            The proposal would involve the development of an area of recreational open space designated by the Adopted Chorley Local Plan Review under Policy No LT14.  The retention of the site is required to satisfy a current recreational need for local residents and any enhanced facility would not be in a convenient location to serve local residents; requiring local children to walk unaccompanied along a main road.  The proposal therefore fails to meet the tests of Local Plan Policy TR14 and the benefit to the local community from the provision of five additional affordable houses would not outweigh the loss of open space that would occur.

10/00414/OUTMAJ - Land South of Cuerden Farm and Woodcocks Farm and Land North of Caton Drive, Wigan Road, Clayton-le-Woods pdf icon PDF 359 KB

Report of the Director of Partnerships, Planning and Policy (enclosed).

Additional documents:

Decision:

Refused (minded to) planning permission.

Minutes:

(The Committee received representations from an objector to the proposals)

 

(The Committee received representations from the Ward Councillor objecting to the proposals)

 

 

Applicant No:               10/00414/OUTMAJ

Proposals:                   Outline application for residential development of up to 300 dwellings (comprising 2, 2.5, and 3 storey’s) with details of access and highway works and indicative proposals for open space, landscape and associated works      

Location:                     Land South of Cuerden Farm and Woodcocks Farm and Land North of Caton Drive, Wigan Road, Clayton-le-Woods

Decision:

 

It was proposed by Councillor Mick Muncaster, seconded by Councillor Alistair Bradley and subsequently unanimously RESOLVED – that Members of the Committee were minded to refuse the outline planning application for the following reason:

 

1.            The application site is within safeguarded land (site DC3.8), where development other than that permissible in the countryside under saved Policy DC1 of the Chorley Local Plan Review and PPS2 will not be permitted. A five year land supply is available and it has not been demonstrated that this development is needed at this time. The proposal has been designed in isolation and is piecemeal development therefore not contributing to the principle of sustainable development. A such the proposal is contrary to saved Policy DC3 of the Chorley Local Plan Review, The Planning System: General Principles (paras 17-19), Planning Policy Guidance Note 2 and Planning Policy Statement 3.
