Homes plan for tennis court site and 7 more new applications this week in South Ribble & Chorley
Here’s eight of the most interesting planning applications verified this week near you.
An application has been made to build up to six houses in the garden of a house in Euxton.
The owners of 11 Wigan Road have made a Permission in Principle application to erect a minimum of five and maximum of six dwellings on land that is currently a hard surfaced tennis court and other hard surfaced area at the northern portion of their residence.
Scattered over the site are a number of poultry cabins used in connection with the owner’s hobby of rearing rare breed hens, and the agent states the land is to be regarded as previously developed land and/or grey belt land.
The land is bounded by Wigan Road to the west and main London to Glasgow railway line to the east which merge to a point where a road passes under Pack Saddle Bridge.
Details on house types and designs are not provided for a Permission in Principle application, but an illustrative plan submitted to Chorley Borough Council suggests there might be two pairs of semi-detached properties and one detached property on the site.
The agent states: “The proposed development would be contained within a parcel that is well related to existing built development, the public highway and railway and would not encroach into the open countryside beyond the planning unit. It is asserted there will be no harm to the visual aspect of openness to the Green Belt. Having regard to this assertion this proposal should be considered acceptable and be approved.”
They add: “The site is clearly in a sustainable location within walking distance of the comprehensive village amenities of Euxton.”
A decision will be made in coming weeks by Chorley Borough Council.
