Erection of an agricultural building for free-range hens and creation of a new access point for W.A. Agriculture Ltd

It was proposed by Councillor Eileen Blamire and seconded by Councillor Janice Hanson:

 

“That the application be refused.”

 

Upon being put to the vote, Members voted unanimously in favour of the proposition, whereupon the Chairman declared the proposal to be carried.

 

Resolved:

 

That Planning Permission be refused for the following reasons:

 

1.

By reason of the size, siting and design of the building, the topography of the land, the size, design and location of the proposed access, including the removal of a section of woodland trees, and the associated engineering operations, the development will have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the landscape, including the incongruous and urbanising impact on this rural road and the significant harm to the established woodland belt. As a result of this, the development would also have an adverse impact on the setting of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The proposal is therefore contrary to the aims and objectives of the core Planning Principles and Sections 7 and 11 of the National Planning policy Framework, Saved Policies E3 and E4 of the Lancaster District Local Plan, and Policies DM28, DM29 and DM35 of the Development management Development Plan Document.
