DOCTORS in Blackburn have seen their plans for an extension rejected by borough planners because of parking fears.

Drs David Gebbie, Katherine Burn and Hereward Brown wanted to build a registrar's room and an extra consulting room at Limefield Surgery, in Preston New Road.

But the proposals have been rejected by council planning officials, on the grounds they will intensify parking problems on the route.

The GPs were informed that there was not enough off-street parking detailed in the blueprints, which were lodged in March.
