Rejected: Plans to build 270 houses in Pendle

Councillors have rejected plans submitted by Junction Property Ltd to build 270 houses.

The proposed area for the buildings is known as a beauty spot in Lancashire.

However an appeal is likely to be submitted.

Joe Cooney, the Conservative group leader on Pendle Council, said to the BBC: “There’s nothing wrong with developments, but unfortunately this was a development in the wrong place.

“It’s got poor transport links, poor infrastructure, it’s in a conservation area and it’s just the wrong area.

“There are other sites we can build on.”
