2. The development hereby permitted shall only be carried out in conformity with the proposed ground and building slab levels shown on the approved plan(s) or as may otherwise be agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority before any development is first commenced.

Reason:  To protect the appearance of the locality and in the interests of the amenities of local residents and in accordance with Policy Nos. GN5 and HS4 of the Adopted Chorley Borough Local Plan Review.

 

Application No:                   05/00888/OUTMAJ

Proposal:     Outline application for residential development (0.5 ha)(ref application 02/01260)

Location:      Land to Rear of 243-281 Preston Road Clayton-Le-Woods

Decision:

It was proposed by Councillor Heaton, seconded and subsequently RESOLVED to refuse the outline planning permission for the following reasons:

1. The proposed development  when considered in the context of latest housing site monitoring information would contribute towards an inappropriate excess in housing supply provision.  The proposal would therefore be contrary to :

1)     the provisions of Policy HS6 of the Adopted Chorley Borough Local Plan Review;

2)     Approved Interim Supplementary Planning Guidance on Windfall Housing Developments, together with

3)     the aims and objectives of the emerging Lancashire Structure Plan and the Regional Spatial Strategy for the North West.

Insufficient justification has been made within the application submissions to warrant the release of the site for development even within the boundary of the settlement.

 

Application No:                   05/00527/FUL

Proposal:     Retrospective application for a temporary agricultural workers caravan to be sited for a period of two years.

Location:      Lostock Bridge Farm Ulnes Walton Lane Ulnes Walton

Decision:

It was RESOLVED that planning permission be refused for the following reasons:

1. The proposed development would be located within the Green Belt as defined by the approved Lancashire Structure Plan and the Adopted Chorley Borough Local Plan Review where planning permission for new dwellings will not be granted unless required for agriculture or there are very special circumstances. There are not considered to be sufficient agricultural or other special circumstances in this instance to justify the retention of the caravan. The farming enterprise in question  is not newly established, therefore a temporary dwelling is inappropriate. The proposal does not accord with the guidance set out in Annex A of PPS 7 or policy HS14 of the Adopted Chorley Borough Local Plan review. The proposal is therefore also contrary to policy DC1 of the Adopted Chorley Borough Local Plan Review, Policy 4 of the Structure Plan and PPG 2.

 

2. The siting of the caravan is such that it would adversely impact upon the essentially open and rural character of the area and the Council is not satisfied that the siting minimises this impact, contrary to the provisions of PPG2 , PPS7 and policies DC1 and HS15 of the Adopted Chorley Borough Local Plan Review.

 

3. The proposed development when considered in the context of latest housing site monitoring information would contribute towards an inappropriate excess in housing supply provision.  In the absence of a satisfactory agricultural justification the proposal is contrary to :

• Approved Interim Supplementary Planning Guidance on Windfall Housing Developments, together with
• the aims and objectives of the Policy 12 of the Joint Lancashire Structure Plan and Regional Planning guidance for the North West.

 

Application No:                   05/00558/OUT

Proposal:     Outline application for a detached dormer bungalow (agricultural workers dwelling).

Location:      Lostock Bridge Farm Ulnes Walton Lane Ulnes Walton

Decision:

1. The proposed development would be located within the Green Belt as defined by the approved Lancashire Structure Plan and the Adopted Chorley Borough Local Plan Review where planning permission for new dwellings will not be granted unless required for agriculture or there are very special circumstances. There are not considered to be sufficient agricultural or other special circumstances in this instance to justify the erection of a dwelling. The proposal does not accord with the guidance set out in Annex A of PPS 7 or policy HS14 of the Adopted Chorley Borough Local Plan review. The proposal is therefore also contrary to policy DC1 of the Adopted Chorley Borough Local Plan Review, Policy 4 of the Structure Plan and PPG 2.

 

2. The proposed development, when considered in the context of latest housing site monitoring information, would contribute towards an inappropriate excess in housing supply provision.  In the absence of a satisfactory agricultural justification the proposal is contrary to :

• Approved Interim Supplementary Planning Guidance on Windfall Housing Developments, together with
• Policy 12 of the Joint Lancashire Structure Plan and Regional PlanningGuidance for the North West.

1. The development hereby approved shall be implemented within three years of the date of this permission.

Reason: Required to be imposed pursuant to section 92 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990

Location:                    DP Cold Planing Chapel Lane Coppull
