The proposal for the site in Whalley Old Road, Billington, is to partially demolish and convert the existing home and construct a new two-storey house at an elevated level.
A design and access statement says the house will be "purposefully contemporary" with full-height windows, cantilevers, and a limited palette of materials.
The statement said: "The proposed replacement dwelling is a carefully considered contemporary design, adopting high-quality materials that will contribute to making it a positive addition to the existing area.

"The scale and proportion of the proposed dwelling is comparable with neighbouring properties and will therefore sit comfortably within the existing context.
"The building contains the accommodation required for the applicant and family to create a new family home more suited to their way of living, whilst enjoying the unique views the site offers towards the Ribble Valley."
The entrance area connects the ground and first floor through a double-height entrance atrium with a skylight above.
An open-plan living, kitchen, and dining space accommodates the majority of the first floor to the east, with a master bedroom and en suite to the west.
