Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The accessibility and public use of the adjacent footpath/cycleway

What decided it

The fallback position that the appellant could prevent public access through alternative means without planning permission, combined with the availability of alternative safe routes, outweighed the conflict with development plan policies on pedestrian and cycle accessibility.

Framework references: 96, 105, 135

Plan policies cited: Policy G8(d), Policy G17(b), Policy 3 of the Central Lancashire Adopted Core Strategy, Policy 17 of the Central Lancashire Adopted Core Strategy
