Summary
The proposal would demolish an existing car port and replace it with a two-storey side extension. Roof lights would also be added to a rear balcony area. The applicant has not yet submitted a Heritage Statement, which is normally required when a listed building is nearby. The property is in the green belt in Aspull. Ainscows Farmhouse, a Grade II listed building, is right next door at 53 metres. St Elizabeth's Church is a couple of minutes' walk away. Around 33 other properties sit within a few minutes' walk of the site. Because the farmhouse is listed, the council will need to consider whether the proposed extension could harm the setting of that building. A Heritage Statement setting out this assessment has not been submitted with the application.
