New house causes upset for neighbours


by Julie Wintle


THE new house currently under construction. "How would you like this view from your house?" one local resident asked.


A DETACHED house being built off Chapel Lane in West Bradford is caus­ ing a tidal wave of upset through the village. A large number of residents from the


Chapel Lane and surrounding area of the village have labelled the new development a “monstrosity”. They argue it is too large for the plot it

is being built on, that it dwarfs surround­ ing properties and is completely out of keeping with the rest of the rural village. One local resident has written to ask the local planning authority how it could jus­ tify passing such plans when many smaller

A RIBBLE VALLEY dance school has raised £1,400 for charity after a sell-out perfor­ mance of "Musical Mayhem" at the Grand Cinema in York Street. About 180 Ribble Valley pupils from the


Angela Westwell School of Dance in Moor Lane, Clitheroe, took part in the show. They were aged as young as three up to 17,


and performed numbers from many musicals. A total of £1,000 was presented to the


North West group of the Haemophilia Soci­ ety, via clinical nurse specialist Alex Shaw. Also, £400 was donated to the Make A


Wish Children’s Charity - which paid for a new printer for The Royal Manchester Chil­ dren’s Hospital. (C100704/1)

and more appropriate developments throughout the Ribble Valley are often turned down. Villagers have also told the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times they are worried that the dimensions of the house being built are bigger than on the approved


plans. Some of the residents have already put


pen to paper about the development in the letters page of the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times, whilst others are in the process of complaining to Ribble Valley Borough Council’s planning department and their local MP Nigel Evans. A previous set of plans submitted by the


applicant, Mr and Mrs M. Woods, for the plot adjacent to Pickering Croft, Chapel Lane, were refused by members of Ribble


Valley Borough Council’s planning com­ mittee.


However, the applicants went back with amended plans to produce a smaller


scheme and these were then passed by the committee. Ribble Valley Borough Council’s devel­ opment control manager, Mr John


Macholc, said: “The building has been inspected and although it projects nearer the highway than the approved plans, the height and overall dimensions are in accor­ dance with the consent.


"Whereas I note some of the concerns


regarding the building and recognise that design is a subjective matter I am satisfied that upon completion the building will fit in with the local built environment."
