Cricket Bolton-by-Bowland was

toss, chose to bat first. Struggling after the winter break, Downham lost the first few wickets in quick succession. Steve Barrett and Mark Braithwaite ral lied well for the visitors, making just short of 50 between them. Dave Laykin also put on
an impressive show for the batters. Well done, too, to Geoff Walmsley, who tre bled his total score of last year with 3 not out. After tea, Downham
took to the field. Graham Kershaw and Paul Walms ley opened the bowling well, both achieving maid en overs early on. Unfortu nately, no wickets fell, as Daniel Glover went on to score 50 not out for the home side after coming on for the injured Levet. A well-played match saw

Village conservatory plan gets the thumbs down
PLANS to erect a con servatory at the rear of Elker Mews in Billing-
ton have been refused. Members of Ribble Val
ley Borough Council Planning and Develop ment Committee heard that the conservatory would extend across the entire rear of Old Barn Cottage and was of a design more in keeping with that found on a mod ern property, not a barn conversion. Elker Mews is the result
of a barn conversion, which has created a terrace of eight properties, witli access off Wlialley New Road. Consent had already
been granted for a rear porch on this property, which has not been imple mented. However, the design of tliis w::s more tra ditional in nature and in keeping with the overall style and nature of the barn and it extended only half
Supper evening Thai curry, lasagne, chilli

details contact Mrs C. Pye, tel. 441507.
Time out When he attended the
meeting of Time Out Ladies, of Grindleton, Mr Brian Lead re-told the story of "An escape back into tlie 1920s." He graplii- cally spoke of how tlie famous Iloudini came to Lancasliirc. New captions and tape recordings that had been made of people who had met Houdini, in Blackburn, were shared witl) tlie ladies. Humorous accounts were given of the escapologist at work and of the lengths he took to achieve his acclaim. Time Out Ladies meet in
the parish room of St Ambrose Church each sec ond and fourth Monday of the month. Tlie next meet ing will be on Monday, when Mrs Joan Garner will talk on Hearing Dogs for
the Deaf.
WI news The meeting of Grindle
ton WI will take place on Wednesday in the
way across tlie rear eleva
tion. Coun. Graham Sowler
(Billington) said the parisli council was against the application, especially if it created a piecemeal effect. Borough councillors
agreed with the recominon dations for refusal of senior planning officer Sarah Westwood on the grounds that "the proposed conser vatory would detract from the original character of the building, with the introduc tion of furtlier glazing ele ments. It would create an imbalance to the original character due to its size. The proposal also intro duces a different roof pitch and the overall design is considered detrimental to the residential amenity of neighbouring properties." It was also felt that the
development would "set a dangerous precedent for similar proposals, destroy ing the character and appearance of other barn conversions."
H om e would contravene District-wide Local Plan
FAILURE to meet with aspects of the District-wide Local Plan have led to the refusal of plans to build a detached property in
Wiswell. The application sought
outline consent for a new detached dwelling at land adjacent to Hillside, in Moor Lane, l)ut members of Ribble Valley Borough Council's Planning and Development Committee heard that objections had been received from the parisli council and nearby residents. These included that the site is not within the village boundary, does not conform to the District- wide Local Plan, would cause great conflict on liigh- way safety grounds, and would sot a precedent for other sites within Wiswell
village. Lancashire County
Council's Higliways Department also recom mended the plans be refused on the grounds of sub-standard visibility. Borough councillors fol
lowed planning officer Mr Mattliew Smith's recom mendation for refusal on tlie grounds that the pro posed development is con trary to certain policies of the District-wide Local Plan, including "the increase in traffic on a nar row road being detrimental to highway safety" and that it involved "development in an area identified as open countryside, lying outside the defined settlement boundary". The proposal would also lead to incroixsed urbanisation of the coun tryside to the detriment of its visual character.
