Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location of the development is appropriate and in keeping with the character and appearance of the area, having regard to relevant local planning policies
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 17 Whittingham Lane and 19 Whittingham Lane with regard to noise
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers with regard to refuse collection
What decided it
The Neighbourhood Plan's identification of lengthy rear gardens on Whittingham Lane as suitable for backland development, being the more up-to-date document reflecting local community aspirations, resolved the tension with the Core Strategy and established that the principle of development was acceptable.
Plan policies cited: Policy 1 of the Central Lancashire Core Strategy 2012, Policy AD1(b) of the Preston Local Plan 2012-2026, Policy RES of the Broughton Neighbourhood Development Plan 2018, Policy RES1 of the Broughton Neighbourhood Development Plan 2018
