Search the Public Notice PortalA planning application has been approved for a new home in Ribble Valley.
The scheme, granted by Ribble Valley Borough Council, allows for a detached property with a single garage and garden store to be built on land behind Pimlico House, off Gisburn Road in Gisburn.
The site is a former commercial yard, previously used as a private coach depot.
The application follows a lengthy planning history, including a refused application for a detached house that was dismissed on appeal in January 2023, and two rejected proposals for a light industrial building.
Councillors approved the latest scheme last month after planning consultants revised the design.
The changes followed extended talks with the council and addressed concerns about the building’s impact on neighbouring properties, including the listed Pimlico House.
Consultants said the revised scheme took into account the planning inspector’s previous comments and better reflected the character of the area.
The house will follow the design of properties in the nearby Stable Close development, using similar materials and an architectural style intended to blend into the surroundings.
The plans were supported by a heritage statement addressing the inspector’s earlier concerns about impact on listed buildings and the conservation area.

Council officers said the development would not harm the setting of Pimlico House or the surrounding area.
The scheme was approved subject to a number of conditions restricting future changes without planning permission, including extensions, outbuildings, fences and renewable energy equipment.
The conditions also require obscure glazing to a first-floor bathroom window to protect the neighbour's privacy.
The council will also need to agree on external materials, land levels, and any proposed lighting as part of efforts to protect the conservation area’s character and wildlife.
The garage must be retained for parking, and the garden store can only be used for purposes incidental to the house.
Any extension of the residential boundary beyond the site plan will require separate consent.
