''I’Hlt .Minister of Housing and Local Government has turned dow n two appeals against the refusal of Clitheroe Rural

The appeals were heard at Cliihoroc on December 14. when

liou.se.s at Whalley and to dev- clope two plot.s of land at Wis- weil.


.Announcing his decision on


tlio Whalloy appeal, the Alinister .say.s that traffic conditions arc the overwhelming dclc’rrent to development on that .site, as there arc no plan.s for immedia.tc easing of the traffic density throug’
