REFUSED
Case Officer
Lucy Walker

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would result in the creation of a new dwellinghouse in an unsustainable location that is not sufficiently accessible by sustainable modest of transport to materially reduce reliance on the private car for journeys to essential services and facilities. The proposal would therefore fail to minimise the need to travel or encourage travel by sustainable modes and would conflict with Key Statement DMI2 and Policy DMG3 of the Ribble Valley Core Strategy, as well as Policy TR3 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
