More discussion needed over changes to family’s home


by Vicky Carlin


A PLANNING applica­ tion recommended for refusal has been deferred by borough councillors so that further consultations with the applicant can be


carried out. The proposals outlined


for Higher Boyce Farm, Stoneygato Lane, in Ribch- estor, are essentially to pro­ vide extended family accommodation for both the applicant's parents and disabled son, and include extensions to provide first- floor rooms, a ground-floor playroom, parents’ accom­ modation and a garden shed.


recommended the proposals should be refused on the grounds that they would "detrimentally affect the existing character of both the existing building and area in which it is set", and that the proposal provides "more than a modest level of accommodation". Members of Ribble Val­


Coun. Chris Iloltom said he shared the parish council's concerns over the "buffer


zone". Mr John Macholc, the


Ribchester Parish Coun­


cil h;is raised concerns over the extent of a large gravel drive on to the field at the front of the property, as it would go into the "buffer zone" between the built area and open land. Planning officials had


ley Borough Council's Plan­ ning and Development Committee heard from Mr Richardson, the father-in- law of the applicant, Mr Turner, who, along with his wife, lives with his daughter and her family, as they both suffer from health prob­ lems. Mr Richardson said alterations needed to be made so his wife could move about in her wheelchair more freely. He added that separate bathrooms were needed for both he and his wife because of the health problems they suffer and that there was no intention of going outside the existing


site.Committee chairman


borough council's develop­ ment control manager, said that it was difficult to find the existing curtilage, but felt that, if the proposals were to extend into it, the alterations would be minor. Coun. Brian Collis

(Ribchester) commented: "The plans would be a big improvement on the house, but the driveway would go into the field. We have already set a precedent with other nearby houses that they have only six or seven feet of garden and we cannot break that." In response, Mr Macholc


said: "If the access is the key issue, we should identi fy this and give suggestions to the applicant." Members voted to defer


the application so that negotiations over size and access can be undertaken.


Camera club members decide to try their hands out of doors


THE format of the Ribblesdale Camera Club's summer pro­ gramme has been changed this year to fortnightly outdoor meetings with no mid­


summer break. This has proved popu­


lar, but will be reviewed in September when the weekly Tuesday meetings


restart. The last two meetings


featured portraiture of very different kinds. Firstly there was infor­


mal, but arranged, portraits of a young couple in the gardens of Thorneyholme at Dunsop Bridge by kind permission of the owners; then the following meeting was a sports action portrai­ ture session in Upper and Lower Long Churn Caves,


at Alum Pot. Both evenings were fine


and sunny, but the formal portraits were made diffi­ cult by midges and eventu­ ally a decision was made to change location to the gar­ dens of the Moorcock Inn on Waddington Fell. This had the advantage of a sec­


ond series of backgrounds and, as dusk approached, somewhere to retreat to dis­ cuss both the midges and the photography. The second location was


a safe, easy cave, giving within a few yards of the entrance, a high roomy stream passage with only a few inches of water between deeper pools, none of it over the wellingtons. This allowed the setting up of tripods on dry rocks or in the water, as needed. Despite the easy nature of this cave, there is a series of easily climbed, but spectac­ ular small waterfalls, giving many fine locations for action photography. As most of the party had


usual pressure to push on when in the company of serious cavers. The colour of caving suits contrasted with the brown rock and while cascading water and it will be interesting to see how many of the pictures appear in next winter's competitions. This meeting was greatly enjoyed by all present and there is already talk of a follow-up in a dif­ ferent location. Meanwhile, the club’s


These youngsters all know their onions!


WHEN it comes to food hygiene, 10 pupils from five nibble Valley primary schools


certainly know their onions. Two pupils from each school won


prizes in a quiz, organised by Rib­ ble Valley Borough Council as part of a food safety roadshow week. The council's food hygiene

not been in a "wild" cave before, they enjoyed explor­ ing the many typical cave features present.

Promise of softer landings!


SOFTER landings can be expected by children going bump in Clitheroe's Park Street play area. The town council facility has had the bark sur­


face around its slide replaced by an impact absorbent covering at a cost of almost £2,000. Funding for the project was financed by a Ribble Valley Borough Council grant.


60th birthday exhibition, being held in Clitheroe Library, has been praised for its high quality photog­ raphy and general interest. This is partly, at least, because of the display of black and white pho­ tographs from the first 20 years of the club's forma­


tion. The quality of the pic­


tures from the early days, some over half a century old, are remarkable and make an interesting con­ trast with today’s more relaxed and varied approach, often in vivid


colour. The exhibition continues


Vandals attack car


VANDALS throw a door handle through the rear window of a car parked in the Woone Lane area of Clitheroe on Saturday afternoon. The incident took place between


2-30 p.m. and 4-30 p.m. and the damage was valued at £50. Police


are investigating


throughout the month of July.


appeal THE Macmillan Nurse appeal will celebrate its success in raising £220,000 in September with a concert by the world famous Lindsay


String Quartet. At the Centenaries The­


atre, St Mary’s Hall, Stony- hurst, the quartet will play works by Haydn and-Ravel, and finish the concert by one of the most popular chamber works ever written - Dvorak’s American Quar­


tet. When the appeal wa.s


first set up in 1998, Appeal Manager Jackie Robeils asked the quartet to give a concert in aid of Macmil­ lan, and was overwhelmed at their offer to appear free of charge so that all the profits of the concert will go to help cancer patients in the area. The Appeal is funding two extra Macmil­ lan nurses at the East Lan­ cashire Hospice at Park


Loo. Tickets are priced at £15.

high hopes MEMBERS of Whalley


Parish Church are hoping to raise more than £50,000 towards a comprehensive refurbishment project. The money will pay for


rewiring, decorating and better lighting and should make the church a better place to be. The church hopes to raise


the money by the end of the year so that work can start as soon as possible. The fund got off to a fly­


ing start with an .£8,700 boost from various charities and fund-raising events. The next event on the fund­ raising calender is a gift day on October 30th.
