Application 3/2019/0545 pdf icon PDF 485 KB

Minutes:

RESOLVED:

 

That the application be refused for the following reasons:

 

1.            The proposal to erect 48 bungalows for persons aged 55 years and over is considered contrary to Policies DMG2 and DMH3 of the Ribble Valley Core Strategy insofar that it does not represent the consolidation, expansion or rounding off of development so that it closely relates to the main built up area of the settlement of Barrow and would lead to the creation new residential dwellings in the defined open countryside, located outside of a defined settlement boundary, without sufficient justification insofar that it has not been adequately demonstrated that the proposal is for that of local needs housing that meets a current identified and evidenced outstanding need.

 

2.            The proposal is considered contrary to Key Statement DS1 and Policy DMG2 of the Ribble Valley Core Strategy insofar that it would erode the area of separation between the neighbouring settlements of Barrow and Whalley which maintains a sense of place for the communities, being of detriment to the character and visual amenities of the area and resulting in the loss of the distinctive character and settlement structure of the borough.

 

3.            The proposal to erect 48 bungalows for persons aged 55 years and over is considered contrary to Key Statement H3 and Policy DMH1 of the Ribble Valley Core Strategy insofar that it fails to satisfy the requirement to provide an adequate level of provision of affordable dwellings.

Longridge Loop pdf icon PDF 134 KB

Report of Director of Economic Development and Planning enclosed.

Minutes:

The Director of Economic Development and Planning submitted a report seeking authority to release Section 106 contributions to Longridge Town Council to facilitate part of the Longridge Loop scheme.

 

The Section 106 monies were secured when planning permission was granted to erect up to 363 dwellings on Land East of Chipping in the sum of £15,000 towards the Longridge Loop recreational route. The contribution was due prior to the occupation of the 30th dwelling and had been received by the Council.

 

In February 2021 some of the monies had been paid to the Longridge Town Council towards part of the Loop. This had left £5,885 of the commuted sum unspent.

 

The Town Council had confirmed that the next planned part of the project was repairs to the footpath at Moss Farm and that they would also like to utilise the monies for ‘mile markers’. Quotations for both had been received.

 

Support was requested from the Longridge councillors in publicising the Longridge Loop.

 

RESOLVED THAT COMMITTEE:

 

Approve the payment of invoice(s) from Longridge Town Council following the completion of Longridge Loop improvements as set out in the report within 28 working days of receipt, up to amount of £5,808.50
