“Site and Surrounding Area 1.1.1. The application is being presented to committee because more than 3 objections have been received. The application relates to 11 Ashendean View, a two-storey detached dwelling situated within an established residential estate in Padiham. The surrounding area is predominantly residential in character, comprising dwellings of a similar age, scale and appearance. 1.1.3.”

“National Policy National Planning Policy Framework Annex National Planning Policy Guidance National Planning Policy for Waste National Design Guide 4.

“1295/0599 – Removal of Condition 9 and revision to Condition 10 (Application no. 12/94/0532 – Dated 9.2.95) 5. Consultation Responses County Highways – No Objections The Highway Authority initially requested amended plans demonstrating three parking spaces of appropriate dimensions within the applicant's ownership and excluding the adopted 2m service strip.”

“Planning Policy Framework, by assessing the proposal against relevant planning policies and all material considerations, identifying matters of concern within the application as (originally submitted) and negotiating acceptable amendments to the proposal with the applicant in order to address those concerns.”

“The development would not be considered to result in unacceptable impacts upon the character and appearance of the area, residential amenity, highway safety or waste management, subject to appropriate conditions. The particular family circumstances provide justification for the two-bedroom accommodation, whilst an appropriate Section 106 Agreement would ensure that the annexe remains ancillary to the host dwelling and is not used as a separate independent dwelling. 9.1.3.”

“Environmental Health – No Objections No objection in respect of potential noise, light, dust or odour nuisance. Conditions are recommended restricting construction hours and preventing the burning of construction-derived waste or other materials within the site. An advisory note is also recommended regarding the site's location within a Smoke Control Area and the potential for smoke or odour to affect neighbouring properties given the difference in land levels…”

“The annexe would not provide a dedicated living room or facilities for clothes washing, with the occupants instead relying upon the host dwelling for laundry facilities, as well as for wider family, social and day-to-day activities. This would provide a degree of functional dependency upon the host dwelling and further reinforce the intended ancillary relationship between the two. 7.2.3.”

“Having regard to the particular family circumstances, the amended scale and internal arrangement of the accommodation, its continued functional reliance upon the host dwelling, the absence of an independent access or frontage, its location within the same residential curtilage and the proposed legal restriction on its future use, officers are satisfied that the accommodation can appropriately function as an ancillary family annexe rather than a separate dwelling or holiday…”

“That the application be approved subject to a S106 agreement being secured to prevent the use of the annexe as either a separate dwelling or holiday let, delegate to the Head of Housing and Development control to grant planning permission subject to the conditions outlined below;”

“The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the application form and the following drawings and documents: Proposed Plan, 002 C. Received 07.09.2026 Reason: For the avoidance of doubt as to the terms under which this planning permission has been granted. 3.”
