Decision

Planning permission refused for the following reasons:

1. 1.         The development would be harmful to the appearance of the St Lawrences conservation area and would therefore conflict with policy 16 of the Central Lancashire Core Strategy and Policies BNE1e) and BNE8 of the Chorley Local Plan 2012 – 2026.
2. By virtue of its size and scale, the proposal would form an incongruent feature of the Streetscene and would be harmful to the area conflicting with Policy 17 of the Core Strategy and Policy BNE1a) of the Chorley Local Plan 2012 – 2026.
