Why it was refused
- The application site is located in the rural area and the proposal is not a form of development that is supported in this location. It would result in the creation of an isolated dwelling. The site is not a sustainable location with regard to the accessibility of facilities and services. Therefore, the proposal conflicts with Policy BD1 of the Hyndburn Core Strategy, policies DM32, DM33 and DM34 of the Development Management Development Plan Document, policies SP1, SP23 and SP25 of the Hyndburn 2040 Local Plan (Strategic Policies and Site Allocations) and paragraphs 11 and 84 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
