3 This consent is granted subject to conditions and it is the owner and the person responsible for the
implementation of the development who will be fully responsible for their compliance throughout
the development and beyond.
If there is a condition that requires work to be carried out or details to be approved prior to the
commencement of the development this is called a "condition precedent". The following should be
noted with regards to conditions precedent:
(a) If a condition precedent is not complied with, the whole of the development will be
unauthorised and you may be liable to enforcement action.
(b) In addition if a condition precedent is breached, the development is unauthorised and the
only way to rectify the development is the submission of a new application. If any other type of
condition is breached then you will be liable to a breach of condition notice.

require Building Regulation approval which is dealt with by this Department's Building Control
Section (Tel: 380194). You must ensure that all necessary permissions are obtained before starting

Land at Back Lane Baxenden
Erection of 3 No dwellings
Mr A Sanderson
Site description and locality
The application site is located between the back street of properties on the eastern side of
Manchester Road and Back Lane. Formerly the location was used for lock-ups and garages but is
now predominantly vacant and characterised by an un-cared for appearance. The land has been
neglected in recent times and become the subject of persistent vandalism and unauthorised access.
There is a terrace of mainly houses on Manchester Road, but including a number of commercial
properties, to the south-west. There are more residential properties across Back Lane on Shelley
Drive. To the south-east there is a vacant site and playground.
Details of proposal
The applicant seeks to establish permission for three detached, three-bedroom, two-storey
properties but with a third bedroom accommodated within the roof space. One access cul-de-sac is
proposed from Back Lane. The applicant has used the triangular shape of the plot to off-set the
orientations of the proposed dwellings and thus, although in close proximity to each other, achieve
adequate levels of privacy. In terms of design the applicant has demonstrated an appreciation of the
surrounding vernacular and detailed natural coursed stone as well as traditional detailings such as
stone heads, sills and jambs around the windows to all elevations.
