(The Committee received representations from an objector to the proposals and the applicant’s agent in support of the proposals)
Application No: 11/00074/FULMAJ Proposal: Application for the erection of 10 two bedroom dwellings and 20 three bedroom dwellings (incorporating four 2.5 storey three bedroom dwellings – plots 1, 7, 9 and 21) with associated access, car parking and landscaping. Including refurbishment and reconfiguration of garden and fencing of 47 Clancutt Lane. Location: 47 Clancutt Lane, Coppull, Chorley, PR7 4NR Decision:
It was proposed by Councillor Ken Ball, seconded by Councillor David Dickinson and subsequently unanimously RESOLVED – That the application be refused for the following reason:
1. The application site is within safeguarded land (site DC3.9), where development other than that permissible in the countryside under saved Policy DC1 of the Chorley Local Plan Review and PPG2 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 provision of 100% affordable housing does not constitute sufficient justification to release the land at this time. As such the proposal is contrary to 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.

Report of the Director of Transformation (enclosed). Decision: Planning permission approved subject to conditions. Minutes:
A planning application under reference 10/00946/REMMAJ for the erection of a residential development consisting of 135 dwellings, was approved on the 9 February 2011.
