2020/0938/FUL - LAND TO THE REAR OF 25 BROOKFIELD LANE, AUGHTON pdf icon PDF 161 KB

To consider the report of the Corporate Director of Place and Community.

Minutes:

RESOLVED:        That planning application 0938/FUL relating to Land to the Rear of 25 Brookfield Lane, Aughton be refused for the following reason:-

 

That the proposed development fails to comply with the  NPPF and Policy GN1 in the West Lancashire Local Plan 2012-2027 DPD as the proposal is not considered  limited infill within a village and therefore it constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt, resulting in harm to the openness of the Green Belt and conflicts with one of the purposes of the Green Belt, that of safeguarding the countryside from encroachment. Insufficient special circumstances have been demonstrated to outweigh this harm.
