Curtilage extensions on to agricultur­ al land have been dismissed as minor by the borough, but people in the parish are well aware tha t if this encroachment is allowed year by year "our village will move outwards on a more or less unplanned basis." The moves are clear­ ly against policy but parish


objections to them are


rarely supported. Even when the County


Surveyor makes the same points as the parish about safety, his comments go unheeded. Ribchester is also con­


cerned that the availability of adequate facilities such as school places is not a fac­ tor in judging planning appeals for housing. It sug­ gests a national review of this point, because "vil­ lages appear to be left to battle with the problems of


inadequate infrastructure without support either from the borough council (which, by its planning decisions, creates the prob­ lem) or the county council." The letter wonders if the


new public participation rules will improve matters, but suggests a meeting with the Planning and Develop­ ment Committee to discuss the problem. One was held a few years ago - and was declared at the time to be the first of a regular cycle.
