A cluster of buildings at a former poultry farm are to be demolished and replaced by a three-bedroom house following planning approval.

Applicant Ashley Rostron applied to Ribble Valley Council for permission to transform the site in West Bradford Road, Waddington, back in March.

The application relates to a group of former agricultural and light industrial buildings situated on the north-eastern outskirts of the village.

The farmstead previously operated as a poultry rearing site, with a use later granted for the construction of light aircraft parts.

A previous application for the site was refused owing to the site’s visibility from various nearby vantage points and was said to be “unsympathetic” to the surrounding landscape.

Following approval, the development is described as a single-storey home with three bedrooms in an L-shaped building.

A planning statement said: “The dwelling will be constructed from high-quality materials which respond to the local vernacular of the area.

"Walls will be constructed from local random coursed stone, with slate roof and grey PPC aluminium doors and windows.

“Furthermore, the building will be dual-pitched which responds to the typical character of dwellings in the area.

“Therefore, the proposed development would be in-keeping with the character of the area, would be designed from high-quality materials, and would not have a greater impact on the wider landscape.”

Development of the site was approved by planners on July 16.
