Additional documents:

Minutes:

Full Planning Application - Erect a single bungalow – The Barn, Hollins Farm, Red Lees Road, Cliviger.

 

Decision: That permission be refused for the following reasons:

 

1.The proposed development is located on land outside the development boundary and is not considered to be in a sustainable location; and by virtue of its modest scale it would not contribute in any meaningful way to the enhancing or maintaining the vitality of the rural community. Accordingly this would be contrary to Policy SP4 of Burnley’s Local Plan (July 2018) and NPPF Para 78 and is contrary to the presumption in favour of sustainable development in the NPPF.

 

2.The proposed development would fail to preserve the setting of the listed stable block, alongside other non-designated heritage assets within the group, and would result in less than substantial harm to significance. The applicant has not demonstrated public benefits to outweigh this harm and as such has failed to provide a clear and convincing justification for the harm to the significance of the listed building. Approval of the application would therefore be contrary to Policy HE2 of Burnley’s Local Plan (July 2018), the NPPF and the relevant statutory duty.

 

3.The overall visual impact of the proposed development would materially alter the character and appearance of the site such that it would cause an unacceptable adverse impact on the immediate setting and the open countryside contrary to the aims of Policies SP5 and NE3 of Burnley’s Local Plan (July 2018) and NPPF 127(c). Furthermore the development would result in the loss of the rural character of the site and would result in the encroachment of the urban form into the open countryside contrary to Policy SP4 of Burnley’s Local Plan (July 2018).

 

4.The proposed development is positioned such that it would result in undue pressures for felling or excessive pruning of a mature Lime Tree (T1) to the detriment of its visual amenity and conservation value as identified in the arboricultural assessment. Accordingly the proposal would conflict with the aims of Policy NE4 of Burnley’s Local Plan (July 2018).
