A planning application to build six new holiday cottages in a Ribble Valley village has been submitted to the council.

Mr Pawan Abrol has applied to the council to build the cottages on land off Longsight Road in Clayton-le-Dale.

The application site is adjacent to an existing holiday complex.

A design and access statement submitted to the borough council said: “The proposal is to expand the existing holiday complex to the north and west by virtue of extending the established access roads into the development site to service six new cottages.

“The buildings scale, massing, form and materials will have a similar appearance to the existing holiday homes in order to reflect the existing vernacular.

“The new cottages have a larger footprint than the existing buildings by virtue of each one having a floor plan showing a level of accommodation to guests offering three bedrooms.

“The quantum and the siting of the holiday homes has been revised by virtue of reducing the number of units proposed from nine to six and arranging them in a more compact layout, no longer spanning the width of the field to the west of the site but demonstrating a layout wrapping around the existing complex to expand the ‘holiday village’ in a way that minimises any impact on the landscape character of the area.

“The site is located off Longsight Road and will utilise the existing access off the A59 adjacent to the entrance to Sunnyside.

“The site has an open aspect to the west across established fields/grassland with tree cover and hedgerows to the north and an existing holiday cottages complex to the south and east.”
