- Ollerenshaw M
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development proposed would be in a suitable location having regard to the Council's strategy for concentrating development of community type facilities within Town or Local Centres or Community Facility Opportunity Areas and meets an identified local need
- The effect of the proposal on nearby trees
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and on the setting of designated and non-designated heritage assets
What decided it
The proposal failed to demonstrate it was in a suitable location for community facility development under the Council's town centre first strategy and failed to provide adequate evidence of local need, combined with unresolved risks to tree health and resulting harm to heritage assets and character.
