Authority: Wyre Borough Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Veevers A
Postcode: PR3 0SE

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal site is in a suitable location for the proposed development with particular regard to the local development plan strategy
The effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
Whether acceptable living conditions would be provided for future occupants of the proposed dwelling, with particular reference to outlook, odour, noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan's spatial strategy by introducing residential development in countryside outside settlement boundaries, and fails to provide acceptable living conditions due to proximity to equestrian uses, with modest benefits insufficient to outweigh the significant harm identified.
