About this application
This is a planning application for a garage at 63 Ayrefield Road Roby Mill Up Holland Skelmersdale Lancashire WN8 0QP. West Lancashire has handled 2,971 applications of this type. This one was decided in 63 days, 7 days longer than West Lancashire's typical decision time. The site is in a conservation area. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. In the past year there have been 67 applications across Up Holland Ward. We hold 347 applications in total for the WN8 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The proposal represents inappropriate development in the Green Belt insofar as the proposed first-floor extension would result in the host dwelling significantly exceeding the 40% increase in volume threshold advised in the Council's supplementary planning document 'Development in the Green Belt' (October 2015); and the extension would not be in keeping with the form and scale of the original bungalow building. The proposal thereby conflicts with the NPPF and Policies GN1 and GN3 of the West Lancashire Local Plan 2012-2027.
From the council's decision notice.
