Go-ahead for stable plan after appeal


AN appeal against refusal of planning permission for an L- sliaped stable block at Low Moor, Clitheroe, has succeed­ ed.


Mr Karl Ilaslam challenged


Ribble Valley Borough Coun­ cil’s decision to refuse approval for his plan at Ashworth Lane, Low Moor. Allowing his appeal, Gov­


ernment inspector Mr George Baird said he agreed that a careful approach had to be


adopted towards the capacity of the lane. He did not agree with the council’s view that the stables would unaccept­ ably affect the safety of people using it. The lane served four sets of


non-commercial stables and traffic there would be sporadic and slow-moving. There was no evidence to show that there


had been any unacceptable conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians, said the inspector.

accolade for pair


FORMER Stonyhurst College pupil Edmund Highcock, of Hurst Green, has been praised by the world- renowned Institute of Physics for his


advancing physics A-level work. Edmund, now studying natural science at


Cambridge University, and fellow former pupil Tomasz Mazur, of Poland, who was also' commended, both received letters of commen­ dation for their work, which was judged to be among the best 20 in the country. Peter Main, the institute’s Director of Edu­


cation and Science, wrote: "Science communi­ cations of this quality, at this stage in a stu­ dent’s education, is a noteworthy achievement and the work is a pleasure to read." Edmund’s work was commended in the sec­


tion for best research and report article, and Tomasz, who is reading mathematics and


computer science at Oxford University, was commended for his work for the Bill Trotter Prize for the best practical investigation report. Mr Main congratulated Stonyhurst Col­


lege’s physics department, saying: "Such a portfolio brings immense credit to all those in your physics department." Adrian Ay 1 ward, headmaster of Stonyhurst


College, said: "We are greatly proud of their achievements. Their hard work is an inspira­ tion to the pupils at Stonyhurst College." Tomasz was awarded the advancing


physics AS Level prize for the best physics in practice portfolio a year ago. Both Edmund and Tomasz astounded


archaeological experts recently by working out the volume of a shattered 2,500-year-old Assyrian storage jar unearthed by a former pupil.
