A/09/72390 Erection of Industrial Building in connection with wood recycling plant (Part retrospective application).

Location: Land South of Boden Davies Ltd, Lower Green Lane, Astley (Astley Mosley Common Ward)

Applicant: Boden Davies Ltd

Letters of objection received from local residents. Letter of objection received from Astley Green Residents Association. Letter of objacetion received from Mrs B Keeley MP on behalf of local constituents. Letters of support received from local residents. A letter of support received from a local business.

Decision: REFUSED

Reasons:

1. The application relates to a substantial building which has already been erected on an area of previously undeveloped land adjacent to the applicant's established industrial premises. The site is located within the green belt as delineated in the adopted Replacement Wigan Unitary Development Plan. The proposed building, and associated hardstandings, involve a substantial visual intrusion into the Green Belt, which does not maintain openness, and represents inappropriate development as defined in UDP policy GB1 and Planning Policy Guidance Note 2 (Green Belts). The applicant has failed to demonstrate very special circumstances to outweigh the harm by reason of inappropriateness. In addition, the development would undermine the primary purposes of the green belt by representing encroachment into the countryside, and failing to assist in urban regeneration through the recycling of derelict or other urban land.

2. The development involves the substantial expansion in the capacity of the industrial concern, with the resultant increase in vehicular traffic to and from the site. Vehiclular access is along Lower and Higher Green Lanes through the settlement of Astley Green. The resultant increase in heavy goods vehicle movements through the village would represent a serious negative impact on the amenity of local residents as a consequence of noise, dust, vibration, and conflict between vehicular movements, contrary to the objectives of Policies G1A and EV1B of the Replacement Wigan Unitary Development Plan.

This application has been refused on the basis of the following plans: BD/Loc, BD/Splan1, BD/Splan2, and BD/Elev.

(Councillor B Bowen declared he had fettered his discretion in dealing with this application by making his views known in advance of the meeting and left the meeting during consideration of the application).

(Councillors R Clayton and J Ellis requested that their votes against the decision be recorded).
