95-ft high building on former ICI site given green light


by Tim Procter


A PLAN for a large replacement build­ ing which would give the former ICI plant on Pimlico Industrial Estate, Clitheroe, a world-leading position in a specialist field has been given the go ahead. New owners Johnson Matthey wanted to


create a hi-tech catalyst plant 40 yards square and up to 95 feet high in places - three times the height of the building to be replaced. Members of Ribble Valley Borough Coun­

However, they said that the replace­ ment building proposed would have a signifi­ cant new impact, would be seen as a promi­ nent feature of the land and would be detri­ mental to visual amenity in an Area of Out­ standing Natural Beauty. They stressed that the size and massing of the building was unac­ ceptable.

Speaking for Johnson Matthey, Mr Tony


needed the height specified, but that the development would put the Clitheroe site in a


world-leading position. He said that refusal of the plan was a ques­

He concluded: “My personal opinion is the


no mention of economic development in the report and that if the plan was refused what appeared to be the the best economic develop­ ment in the town might evaporate. He was supported by Coun. Frank Dyson,

development is so worthwhile and the effect minimal, and I move we do not accept the off- ficers’ recommendation for refusal and am minded to approve this. I think a development of this quality should be supported.” Mr John McHolc stressed that the officers’


decision was not an easy one and was the right one, but said to councillors: “If you are mind­ ed to approve we have to look at materials and appearance and defer it to officers for appro­ priate conditions.”
