Why it was refused
- The proposed development would be located beyond a defined settlement boundary in the open countryside and would develop open rural land where there is currently no development to the detriment of the open rural character and visual amenity of the immediate area and conflicting with the locational strategy of the Development Plan contrary to policies SP02, DM09 and DM26 of the adopted Pendle Local Plan Fourth Edition.
From the council's decision notice.
