Planning committee

Decided by Blackburn Planning and Highways Committee on 15 Jan 2026.

Approved

As officers recommended.

Officers advised approval because the amended outbuilding was considered acceptable in principle, design and residential amenity terms, subject to conditions.
Residents objected over the building’s scale, appearance, privacy, light, drainage, access and possible noise or commercial use.
The committee granted permission subject to the conditions highlighted in the Director’s report.

Site constraints 3

Public footpath about 13 m away

Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.

Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.

Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2

Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.

Also on the record

Inside the Darwen built-up area.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 18 September 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
