Why it was refused
- The proposed development, by virtue of its scale, form and positioning, would result in an unacceptable adverse impact on the residential amenity of neighbouring occupiers through an unacceptable loss of light. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policy DM29 of the Hyndburn Development Management Development Plan Document and Policy SP20 of the Hyndburn 2040: Local Plan (Strategic Policies and Site Allocations).
From the council's decision notice.
