In pictures: BBC Radio 2 In The Park Sunday music and radio stars as Pet Shop Boys close festivalThousands tough out the rain as Radio 2 in the Park weather fails to dampen spiritsA plan to change a West Lancashire farm outbuilding into ancillary living accommodation, a granny flat, has been refused over concerns that it would create a stand-alone new home with not enough space or ‘amenity’ for anyone living there in future.
A document on behalf of Mr Taylor stated: “The building once converted and extended will be utilised by a family member of the applicant. It will not be used as a separate form of residential accommodation and could be said that it will be a granny annex. The applicant is happy for any planning conditions to be placed, restricting the use to ancillary accommodation if it is felt to be necessary to approve the application.
“A 31 per cent increase would be within the threshold for the green belt. But this fails other tests regarding suitable space for residents and outdoor space. Although the indoor plan is well designed, it could become an independent residential unit. We have a basic scenario where this cannot achieve adequate residential amenity for future occupiers.”
