We hold 507 applications in total for the L39 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The siting and height of the proposed boundary treatment would result in a detrimental impact on highway safety for both road users and pedestrians due to the restrictions on the available visibility splay. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy IF2 of the West Lancashire Local Plan DPD (2012-2027), the Council's SPD 'Design Guide' (2008) and the National Planning Policy Framework.
- Due to its siting, height and design the proposed boundary treatment would have an adverse impact on the character and visual amenity of the surrounding area and would be an incongruous feature within the streetscene. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy GN3 of the West Lancashire Local Plan DPD (2012-2027), the Council's SPD 'Design Guide' (2008) and the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
