EXPORTING farming implements to Poland was the innovative idea of a group-of five pupils from St Augustine’s RC High School, Billington, that has won them a place in the finals of a national

how they would market a product or service of their choice to any particular

Council decides to stand firm on Brockhall site


CHANGES in direction in the development of


the old Brockhall Hospital site could lead to conflict with the borough council, according to the authority’s chief planning officer.


Mr Stewart Bailey was


presenting a position statement on d e v e l ­ opments there to members of Ribble Valley Council’s Planning and Devel­ opment Committee. His report stated that


the current intentions of the developer, Mr Gerald Hitman, could best be determined by reference to the objections made to the recent district-wide plan inquiry and to a letter sent by him to residents of Brockhall village.


Lady farmers

Golfers bunkered!


PLANS for a golf driving range at Brook House Farm, Mitton Road, Whalley, have been turned down by councillors.


Members of Ribble Valley Council’s Planning and


Development Committee heard that the proposed range was in open countryside and outside any recog­ nised settlement. The area in which it would be sited had been designated as an area of special landscape. Officers considered it would cause unacceptable harm to the landscape quality, be a detriment to the visual amenity of local residents and create a precedent for further development.


Cutm. Allan Kay said he could not see what the


problem would be. The site was agricultural land and bounded by the railway line. He thought the scheme should go ahead. Coun. Arthur Pearson sup­ ported him.


.


There was some discussion of the effects of flood­ lighting and Coun. Harry Backhouse said he was not in favour. Coun. Peter Evans said that the flood­ lights were not the only problem. The area was a . beautiful piece of countryside.


Coun. Stephen Holt recommended that the officcre’


report should be supported and the.application refused.

These suggested amend­ ments* had not been accepted by the council. In his letter to resi­

Mr Bailey said that the


change of direction was the fundamental purpose of the letter which asked residents for their views on reducing the space devoted to employment generation from 900 to 100/150 thousand square feet and increasing hous­ ing numbers from 400 to 600. It appeared that the current consent did not give an accurate indication of the developer’s actual intentions for the site.. At the committee’ s

December meeting it was decided that a firm stand should be taken on the detailed requirements of the Section 106 agree ment. Mr Bailey said: “As the terms of the S106 Agreement include a form of development in accord with the uses and densities indicated by the plann application, the direction indicated by the developer would seem to be leading us to some form of conflict in the relatively ncai future.”
