About this application

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed change of use would result in an intensification of activity at the site by way of a high frequency of visits by staff, including staff changeovers, and an increased demand for car parking. The intensification of staff movements to/from the property on a regular and basis would result in an unacceptable impact on neighbouring amenity in terms of noise and disturbance. The intensification of vehicles associated with the proposal and inadequate parking within the site would result in an increase of on street parking which would result in harm to highway amenity and the potential for restricting vehicle and pedestrian movements. This is contrary to the NPPF and Policy CDMP3 and CDMP6 of the Adopted Wyre Local Plan 2011-2031.

From the council's decision notice.
