About this application

This is a planning application for a new dwelling at Land Adjacent To 37 Marsland Green Lane Tyldesley. Wigan has handled 2,062 applications of this type. This one was decided in 33 days, 4 weeks quicker than Wigan's typical decision time. There are no previous applications recorded at this address.

Why it was refused

The proposed development represents inappropriate development in the Green Belt as it fails to meet any of the exceptions set out in paragraphs 154 of the National Planning Policy Framework and does not meet a demonstrable unmet housing need, including for self- build housing, having regard to paragraph 155. No very special circumstances have been demonstrated that would outweigh the totality of the harm to the Green Belt, which is by reason of inappropriateness, harm to the openness of the Green Belt, and harm to the visual amenity of the Green Belt. The proposal is therefore contrary to the objectives of Green Belt Policy set out in the National Planning Policy Framework and Places for Everyone Policy JP-G9 'The Green Belt' Compliance with paragraph 38 of the National Planning Policy Framework

From the council's decision notice.
