Mini estate planned for horse riding arena and 8 other new applications in Chorley & South Ribble
Check out some of the most interesting recent planning applications near you.
Plans have been mooted to change a horse riding arena into a mini estate of nine homes.
The owners of 4 Yew Tree Villas in Preston Road, Charnock Richard, have launched a Permission in Principle application for the development , which includes the demolition of the existing buildings and the removal of the smaller riding arena and part of the larger riding arena and associated areas of hardstanding. Access would be taken from Preston Road via the existing access.
The proposal site is 0.35 hectares of Green Belt land, but the agent for the owner argues that this meets the criteria for Grey Belt, and should be released for housing. They also argue that Chorley Borough Council is unable to demonstrate the required five year supply of deliverable housing sites.
They state: “The scheme would provide a small to modest housing contribution at an appropriate density towards addressing that shortfall. It would deliver associated social benefits, and economic benefits both during construction and post-occupation through the use of services and facilities in the wider area by future occupiers. There are no adverse effects arising from the proposal, and certainly none which would substantially outweigh the benefits when assessed against the national decision-making policies in the Framework.”
A decision will be made in coming weeks by Chorley Borough Council.
