Why it was refused
- The proposed siting of the dwelling would be detrimental to the residential amenity of the occupants of no: 1A Birchfield, Much Hoole by virtue of loss of privacy and overlooking. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policy G17 of the South Ribble Local Plan, Core Strategy Policy 17 and the South Ribble Residential Extensions Design SPD
From the council's decision notice.
