    Town & Country Planning Act 1990 (As Amended) Planning Appeal Appeal Reference: APP/D2320/W/20/3265785 Land 120M South West Of 21 Lower Burgh Way Lower Burgh Way Chorley Statement of the Local Planning Authority 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The appeal is made by Taylor Wimpey UK Limited against the refusal of full planning permission for the development of land 120M South West Of 21 Lower Burgh Way, Chorley, for the erection of 201 dwellings, associated access, drainage and the provision of public open space and landscaping. 1.2 There is one reason for refusal concerning the inadequacy of affordable housing (AH). In recent days, the Appellant has produced a revised appraisal and has confirmed the site can deliver 30% affordable housing on a 70/30 affordable rented/shared ownership split with a mix of unit sizes but not the other required s.106 contributions. In the light of that changed viability position, the issue between the parties is whether there is any viability reason why the development cannot deliver full policy compliant AH and the other required s.106 contributions. The Council’s case is that there is no viability reason why the development cannot provide both. 1.3 The Appellant has contended that there is no 5 year housing land supply. The Council disagrees and the approach it adopts was confirmed to be correct in a decision in Preston dated 9 th March 2021. The Council adopts the inspector’s reasoning. There is a 5 year land supply. 1.4 In any event, given that there is no viability impediment to delivery of all the housing with policy compliant AH and s.106 contributions there is no policy justification for failure to provide them.

  • Newsletter 137 Spring 2012
    QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER Newsletter No. 137 Spring 2012 Chorley and District Natural History Society is a Registered Charity: Registration Number 513466 EDITORIAL I recently returned from a short holiday in Northern France to be greeted with the news that DEFRA in its infinite wisdom had decided, following lobbying by game conservancy organisations, that research was needed into the effects of the increasing Buzzard numbers on Pheasant poult numbers and possible ways of controlling the Buzzard population. It therefore proposed to fund a three year study into non-lethal means of achieving this and acquired funding from the government amounting to £375,000.00! The funding was for a field trial, which was to use such means as permanent translocation of captured birds to falconry centres, and the destruction of Buzzard nests – both actions are currently illegal under the Wildlife and Countryside Act. We are talking here of a conservation success story being undermined for the sake of a species which was introduced into this country chiefly for sporting purposes, and of which millions are released each year purely to provide moving targets for shotguns! Fortunately the RSPB, BTO and Raptor Protection Groups condemned or washed their hands of the proposals, and following the subsequent public outcry, DEFRA seems to have performed a U-turn at least in respect of the proposed field trials. However, I don’t suppose the threat has gone away. The shooting lobby is far too powerful for that, so we need to remain vigilant if we wish to continue enjoying the magnificent sight of Buzzards soaring over the Chorley countryside.

  • Newsletter 150 Colour for E-Newsletter
    QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER Newsletter No. 150 Summer 2015 EDITORIAL Chorley and District Natural History Society is a Registered Charity: Registration Number 513466 It’s probably worth noting that this is the 150 th edition of the Society’s Newsletter, although apart from it being a nice round number it doesn’t really have any other significance. For the first couple of years, the Newsletter was issued on a bi-monthly basis, so the 150 th doesn’t represent any particular anniversary apart from its own! It’s an excuse though to remind members that we need your input to continue producing it. So, articles, book reviews, poems and the like would all be welcome! Neil Southworth Our Emblem – the Goldeneye 1 INSECT REPORT We were promised an influx of Painted Ladies this year, but so far they haven’t reached the Chorley area. By the end of June we had received only 3 records – admittedly that is 3 more that we often get! Two came from the Croston area and one from Great Hill. Hopefully more should arrive as the summer warms up (maybe). When Painted Ladies are numerous, it is often the case that other migrants show up as well. On 24 th June there was a Hummingbird Hawk Moth feeding in Euxton. It is likely that we will get more, so eyes peeled. Hummingbird Hawk Moth seen in Euxton I have been lucky enough to travel around Britain in the last few months in search of various butterflies. One thing that has been noticeable has been the large numbers of Brimstones I have seen.
