Why it was refused

  1. The proposal is considered to be in direct conflict with Key Statement DMI2 and Policy DMG3 of the Ribble Valley Core Strategy and the overarching objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) insofar that approval would lead to the creation of one new residential dwelling in an unsustainable location whereby there would be a reliance on private motor vehicle by occupiers of the dwelling to access key services and facilities. When applying Paragraph 11d)(ii) of the NPPF, the resultant harm from allowing residential development in this unsustainable location is considered to significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits.

From the council's decision notice.
