Planning fees add up to £212,924


FEES of £212,924 were paid for planning appli­ cations to the Ribble Valley Borough Coun­ cil in the year to the


end of March. This was £24,682


more than in the previ ous year, said a report to the Planning and Devel opment Committee. The planners dealt with


881 applications, of which just 500 were decided by officials under powers del­ egated to them for non- controversial ones where there were no objections. The Government's target


of deciding applications within eight weeks was met overall in 56 per cent of cases, though for dwelling house ones specifically it was 83 per cent. This is due to many being decided by the officials under their del­


egated powers. The appointment of a


trainee planner has helped deal with the formalities for these, freeing senior officers for speeding up the other


work. The council won the only


public inquiry appeal, and 12 of the 20 appeals dealt with by written representa


tions. Duty chemist

a n Accrington n,an wan disqualified RSPCA inspectors found the carcasses of dead sheep strewn


Billington. Blackburn magistrate . - ,


heard that as well as six dead sheep, the inspector


found others that were more dead than alive, with some suffering severe scab infestation and others


severely lame. According to a vet, all the


M M .V'- Cr-J.-


sheep, which had no food or shelter, had been subjected to unnecessary suffering for a considerable time. The owner of the sheep,


Allah Ditta (44), of Freder­ ick Street, pleaded guilty to 12 summonses of permitting either unnecessary suffering


or unnecessary pain or dis­ tress to livestock, and one summons of failing to bury sheep carcasses in a field accessible to dogs. He was fined £500 and


ordered to pay £400 towards the costs of the RSPCA prosecution and was also disqualified from owning sheep for 10 years. Mr David Wyatt, prose­


cuting, said that following complaints RSPCA inspec­ tors visited two fields adja­ cent to the Foxfields in Billington. In the first field there were 34 live sheep and


I five dead ones. The inspec­ tors at first assumed a sixth


sheep was dead, but on clos­ er inspection realised it was still alive, although it had to be destroyed as soon as a vet


arrived. In the second field there


,was another dead sheep, and in a barn the inspectors found a number of sheep all suffering from severe skin


complaints. "A l l the sheep were in a


S o n y state," said Mr Wyatt. "Several were dead and a couple were as close to

Farming personality who was well-informed and alert dies at the age of 91


A D O Y E N of the area's farming


personalities has died aged 91. Mr Henry Fox Taylor (pictured)


could look back to his childhood on the family farm at Whitewell during


the First World War. The family was connected with St


Michael's Church, Whitewell, and after their marriage there Mr and Mrs Taylor moved to Westby Hall Farm, Gisburn. They stayed there for almost 40 years,


Mr Taylor being well-known for the quali­ ty of his Friesians and his commitment to


efficient sheep farming. Mr Taylor, who will be remembered as


an alert and well-informed personality committed to farm and family life, was a director of Gisburn Auction Mart for more than 30 years. He was also in Ribblesdale


Farmers. Mr and Mrs Taylor played their part in


church and village life at Gisburn, but retired in 1976. Since then Mr Taylor had become a well-known bowler on the Clitheroe Cricket Club green. He was also a proficient gardener whose work was much


admired. He leaves his wife, two sons, two daugh-


ters and 11 grandchildren. The funeral service and interment were


yesterday at St Michael's, Whitewell. Donations to the church in memory of Mr Taylor are invited, care of Brian Price and Son, 39 Downham Road, Chatburn, BB7

was December and there was little nourishment in


any grass that may have


been in the field." Mr Wyatt said there had


been no evidence of any supplementaryfeed. "There were'eight sheep


in the barn all suffering from skin complaints," said Mr Wyatt. "One sheep was on its side and' was unable to stand. Although these sheep had the shelter of the barn there was no food or water in there for them." Mr Anis Ali, defending,


said Ditta had.no previous convictions and the offences had arisen out of inexperi­ ence rather than a deliber­ ate act of negligence. Ditta bought the sheep as a busi­ ness venture to help him earn a living in order to sup- port his wife and four dependent children. "He feels ashamed about


what has happened," said Mr Ali. "He assures me that his sheep now have ade­ quate food, water and shel­


^


ter and ' he invites the RSPCA to inspect the pro,


visions'he has made for the animals in his care now." , Sentencing Ditta the


chairman of the bench sai4 that she,and her colleagues had some, knowledge o( agricultural practice.


; "These animals were


totally dependent on yoq for their well being," said the chairman. "InexperiencQ is no excuse under these cirr


cumstances." A second man appeared


in court to answer 13 sum­ monses arising out of the same circumstances. John Wrathall (50), of


Fillings Farm,. West Brad­ ford, pleaded not guilty to 10 summonses of omitting to act, therefore causing unnecessary suffering to an animal, two of permitting unnecessary suffering or pain to livestock and one of failing to bury a carcass in a field accessible to dogs. The matter against him


were adjourned until July 5th.
