Why it was refused

  1. The development, by virtue of its size, massing and proximity to neighbouring residential properties; particularly 38 Wham Lane and 40 Wham Lane, would have a detrimental impact on residential amenity in terms of loss of privacy, and appearing overbearing and overly dominant. It is therefore contrary to South Ribble Local Plan Policy G17(a), Central Lancashire Core Strategy Policy 17(c and d), The South Ribble Residential Design SPD Paragraphs DG03 (d).

From the council's decision notice.
