Controversial plan for homes is passed by just one vote


by Tim Procter ..


ONE vote approved a bitterly controversial 39- home development at Littlemoori Clitheroe, when planning council­ lors met on Tuesday. But there was an


almost unanimous "no" to a 24-home project on the site of the bus depot o f f Pimlico Road, Clitheroe. Members of the Rib-


ble Valley Planning and Development Commit­ tee were concerned about, three-storey blocks of houses at both sites, but officials said they were acceptable and recommended both applications

Y E A R 5 pupils from partner primary schools were given an insight into life at St Augus­ tine's RC High School, Billington. Before the end of the


summer term, the pupils were invited to the school for a special


retreat day. Pictured are Jo Boyce


and Mike Stanley at the school with some of the pupils.


(B030702/1) Fancy dressing up for charity?


A TRIO of volunteers is needed to lead off Clitheroe's Torchlight procession. Anyone can apply, so long as they do


not mind dressing upl Tradition dictates that the parade through the town centre is headed by a procession king, queen and jester. These roles have been filled by an all-male threesome over the last 30 years, but its members have decided to retire. Willing replacements are asked to con­


tact Torchlight working group secretary Mr John Wells on 01200 424722 as soon as possible so that they can be fitted for their costume. The procession takes place on the


evening of Saturday, September 14th. Already, 50 float entries have been


received and six marching bands have confirmed their attendance.


Following the procession, there will be


a spectacular fireworks display on the Castle Field, which will also be used over the whole of that weekend as a base for a variety of family fun activities. These include a Red Arrows flypast, a display of military vehicles and a kiddies' funfair. • TORCHLIGHT procession sou


venir programmes go on sale today. They can be bought for £1 from the


Clitheroe Advertiser and Times office, Clitheroe Tourist Information Centre, Clitheroe Town Hall and many shops and businesses throughout the town. Proceeds from their sale go to local charities.

cliffe (Clitheroe)


declared: "They will appear as a cliff face on the edge of open coun­


tryside." Coun. Frank Dyson


(Clitheroe) said it would


be wrong not to support the rugby club, but not at the expense of having Barratt's "dreadful architecture." The club could get money and. grants elsewhere. Coun. James Roger-


son said they were selling the family silver to pay


the rent. But supporters of the

approval. But the Littlemoor


one, using part of the former milk delivery depot on Croft Street and affecting two local sports, fields, attracted a barrage of other criti­ cism as well. Claims by developers


Barratts that their scheme's new changing rooms for the nearby cricket and rugby clubs, plus a cricket pavilion,


'would help improve the town were not accepted by all councillors. Sever­ al were unhappy about the tall houses, agreeing with a resident that they


plan agreed with officials that it was the best use of a difficult site - part of which could again be used, legally, as a distri­ bution depot, a far less acceptable situation for residents nearby. Chief Executive Mr


David Morris empha­ sised that, although pro­ testors and some coun­ cillors had mentioned highway, school and amenity problems, the experts in those fields consulted by the council had not objected to the


plan. Chairman of the


everyprici


meeting Coun. John Hill warned: "This site could become a blot on the landscape, an eyesore and this is a unique opportunity to overcome that and regenerate this space to improve the quality of life for resi-


dents and of the sporting youngsters of the area. "The alternative


would be .to condemn it . to a slow and agonising decline."


. There were six votes


for the application and five against, but it will now be on hold until legal agreements regard­ ing some features are signed. Then the Chief Executive will approve it on behalf of the council. The bus depot site's


inclusion of 13 two-bed- room homes and 11 with three bedrooms, plus high design quality, endorsed by the officials, pleased some councillors. But several comment­


ed on the three-storey aspect, although others pointed out that these buildings would still be four feet lower than the bus garage. An officials' report emphasised that the


plans showed more than twice the minimum den­ sity of homes per acre recommended, so help­ ing meet small home needs. But councillors felt this was over-inten­ sive use of the site. Coun. Dyson said


that the plan was a great improvement on the bus garage. "But suddenly we rush into a three- storey development and so many homes there is over intensive," he declared. All members except


one voted against the plan.
