Why it was refused
- By reason of its scale, siting, and proximity to the shared boundary with No. 9 Shelfield Road, the proposed rear extension would result in an unacceptable overbearing impact to a rear ground floor window serving a habitable space. The development would therefore cause harm to the residential amenity of the adjoining occupiers at No. 9, contrary to Policies DM16 and DM24 of the Adopted Pendle Local Plan Fourth Edition (2021-2040) and the Adopted Design Principles SPD. Planning, Building Control and Regulatory Services Assistant Director Application Ref: 26/0515/HHO Date: 28th September 2026
