Purpose:

Content: Councillor M Peplow left the meeting and took no part in the debate or the vote.   RESOLVED THAT COMMITTEE:   Refuse planning permission for the following reason(s):   1.         The proposal is considered contrary to Policy DMG1 of the Ribble Valley Core Strategy insofar that the proximity, scale and orientation of ‘Building 2’ would significantly undermine and compromise the residential amenities of the occupiers of 115 Kemple View by virtue of a direct unsympathetic overbearing relationship.   2.         The proposal is considered contrary to Policy DMG1 of the Ribble Valley Core Strategy in that the proximity, scale and orientation of ‘Building 1’ would significantly undermine and compromise the residential amenities of the occupiers of residential dwellings to the south-west by virtue of an overbearing relationship, exacerbated by the differing topographies between that of the application site and garden areas/land-levels associated with the existing affected dwellings.   3.         The proposal is considered contrary to Policy DMG1 of the Ribble Valley Core Strategy and Paragraphs 130 and 134 of the National Planning Policy Framework insofar that approval of the proposal would result in the introduction of an anomalous and discordant pattern and form of development, that by virtue of the scale of the proposed dwellings, their inherent footprints and site configuration, would fail to respond positively to the inherent pattern and scale of adjacent built-form being of significant detriment to the character and visual amenities of the area.

Date of Decision: July 24, 2025
