back from


brown’ sites favoured report by Tim Procter


THERE is not after all to be a total ban on creating new dwellings m the Ribble


Valley. The draft plan sug­


gesting it has been modified after consider­


ation of points made in three dozen responses to its original ideas from the housing indus- ■ try and from private


individuals. But new es tates on


green field land will still effectively be ruled out in a;revised version of the plan. I t now awaits only formal endorsement a t a full meeting of the bor­ ough council in five weeks


time. 'The meeting is also .


asked to rubber-stamp a Planning and Develop­ ment Committee plan for a housing needs survey to be carried out, a t a cost of

The council has some sym­ pathy with this view.


' Responses from the pub­ lic largely supported the


ban, and some wanted Houses built only when they


were specifically needed. "Plans are passed to satisfy the greed of developers, not


to help local people," said Other local authorities


such as Blackburn, Burnley and Blackpool were pleased at the stance against over-


The Council for the Pro­


tection of Rural England welcomed the barn conver- sion ban idea - but it was opposed by the Bowland Initiative, which empha­ sised the economic value of


barns.


The revised plan allows redevelopment of brown­

field sites, previously used for something else, within the settlement boundary. They should normally be of high density of houses per acre, and in character with


the area. There will be other crite­ ..

Said Mr Johnstone: I


find it quite staggering that Mr Evans should accept hospitality from a tobacco


firm and then vote for an amendment which could


"explain this" call. Mr Johnstone wants to


know why the MP accept­ ed tickets for the Wimble­ don ten n is finals 20 months ago from a tobac­ co company and on Mon­ day night voted against a bill banning most ciga­ rette advertising. Howev­ er, Mr Evans hit back at his political opponent and declared he would fight the election on policies, not on personalities.
