  • Local Plan Part 2: Inspectors Final Report Appendix
    APPENDIX MAIN MODIFICATIONS TO THE SUBMISSION VERSION OF THE LOCAL PLAN PART 2 WRITTEN STATEMENT No. Page Policy/Paragraph Change to Reference (Strikethrough = Delete) (Bold = Add) MM1 5 Policy 3 The Adopted Policies Map defines the Green Belt in Blackburn with Darwen. Within the Green Belt, planning permission will not be granted for inappropriate development, except in very special circumstances or where another policy in the Local Plan specifically supports a proposal. The construction of new buildings is inappropriate development except: buildings for agriculture and forestry; provision of appropriate facilities for outdoor sport, outdoor recreation and for cemeteries, as long as it preserves the openness of the Green Belt and does not conflict with the purposes of including land within it; the extension or alteration of a building provided that it does not result in disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original building; the replacement of a building, provided the new building is in the same use and not materially larger than the one it replaces; limited infilling in villages, and limited affordable housing for local community needs under policies set out in the Local Plan; or limited infilling or the partial or complete redevelopment of previously developed sites (brownfield land), whether redundant or in continuing use (excluding temporary buildings), which would not have a greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt and the purpose of including land within it than the existing development. Certain other forms of development are also not inappropriate in Green Belt provided they preserve the openness of the Green Belt and do not conflict with the purposes of including land in Green Belt.
