WAIT and see what it looks like when it is finished -
from the man building the West Bradford house which has provoked a village outcry.
th a t was the response this week Mr Graham Topping's detached house, off
Chapel Lane, has resulted in a flood of letters of complaint to Ribble Valley Borough Council and to the area's MP, Nigel Evans. In our article regarding the property last
week, we incorrectly gave the applicants' names as Mr and Mrs M. Woods.

and we apologise for any distress the item may have caused them. The height of the property, which is currently
being clad in a natural stone finish, has enraged villagers and among comments received by the council are: "Out of character; it dwarfs the house next to it; it can be seen from any point in the village; too large for the site; completely spoils the character of the lane; how has such a large building been squeezed into such a small site, and refer ences to planning permission being given for a two-storey structure, not a three- storey one. Ribble Valley Borough Council’s devel
opment control manager Mr John Macholc has written to all those who have put pen to paper. He continues to state that, in relation to

the visual impact, he considers that the amended plans following a previous refusal are now "significantly different and reduce the amount of built form so that it fits comfortably within the site". He adds that he does not consider that
there is an over intensification of the plot and th a t he believes there is adequate amenity area within the site curtilage. Mr Macholc has also said that, upon
completion, he feels the building will be far less prominent. His views are certainly not shared by
members of the parish council and resident Mr Roger Hargreaves, writing to the bor ough authority, asks what is the purpose of a parish council if no notice is taken of its decisions? Meanwhile the builder this week invited
. all those who have strong views about the development to speak to him face to face. "I will be on site most weekends and if
people want to approach me, they can do so," he told us on Monday. Since letters of complaint began to reach
the borough council, site visits have been made to check all the dimensions. "It is as it was passed", claims Mr Top
ping who revealed that he intends to live in the house once it is finished. "Wait until the building is completed to
see it in its true glory," he said, adding that "leading edge technology" was being used in its construction and, due to the shell being erected quickly, the impact value had also been fast. "Government policy is to build taller
properties," he added. "If the green fields are to be protected, there is only one way to go-upwards." Mr Topping, who owns Ribble Valley
Property Services, and currently lives in Burnley, has undertaken the development as a self-build project and expects it could be 12 months before completion. I t is a non-commercial venture and he
intends to move into it with his family, bringing new residents to West Bradford. Whether the house is three-storey is still
a bone of contention. Attic space is being utilised for the second floor, with a high third window in the gable end. Meanwhile controversy rages and many
