Why it was refused

  1. The failure to integrate the design of the proposed extension, in terms of roof shape and fenestration detailing with the existing property, coupled with its prominent location, results in a proposal that is not in keeping with either the streetscape or host property and would introduce an alien and incongruous feature into the streetscene, resulting in harm to the surrounding locality. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy BNE1 (a) of the Chorley Local Plan 2012-2026. Please Note: The proposal would not improve the economic, social and environmental conditions of the area nor does it comply with the development plan and therefore does not comprise sustainable development. There were no amendments to the scheme, or conditions which could reasonably have been imposed, which could have made the development acceptable and it was therefore not possible to approve the application. The Local Planning Authority has therefore implemented the requirement of Paragraph 39 of the NPPF. This decision has been made having regard to the policies of the Development Plan which comprises the Adopted Central Lancashire Core Strategy (2012) and the Adopted Chorley Local Plan 2012-2026 and all other relevant planning policy and guidance including National Policy (the Framework), supplementary planning guidance and supplementary planning documents and corporate documents of the Council. Chief Planning Officer, Chorley Council Please read the notes attached to this notice carefully. They will help you to understand this decision, your rights and other things you may have to do.
