Gornall for a house at Arm- ridding Farm, Chipping Road, Chaigley, was deferred for further inquiries by the Planning and Development Commit tee of Ribble Valley Bor ough Council. The applicants said that
the mixed farm had a large amount of stock and the house was needed for the son of the farmer." But officials recommend
ed refusal, having been told by a county advisor th a t there was not sufficient
agricultural justification.
Even if there had been, the siting was unacceptable. Coun. Mrs Mary Wilson
(Dilworth) spoke of the hard work done by the Gor nall family for the farm, and for the community. "Some policies to protect
the countryside fail to look at the people who live there and who have put their lives into keeping our green and pleasant land green and pleasant," declared Coun
Mrs Wilson. " Other committee mem
bers spoke in support; although none agreed with the siting suggested. I t was agreed to defer the applica tion for further negotia tions, and to check the basis of the county advisor's con elusion.
