Greenbelt Planning Appeal decision - off Dawbers Lane
28th of February, 2024Planning Appeal Dismissed
The Planning Inspectorate has rejected the developers Appeal against Chorley Councils rejection of their planning application for 11 homes to be built on GREEN BELT land in Euxton.
The Planning Inspector says in one of his conclusions:
"It is not sufficient for harm to merely be outweighed, but benefits must clearly outweigh the harm. In this case, when taken together, I find that the overall benefits associated with the proposed 11 dwellings would not be of sufficient magnitude to clearly outweigh the totality of harm. Consequently, very special circumstances necessary to justify the development do not exist."
