Targets to ensure that housing meets needs


95p180g


AMBITIONS to match the supply of homes with identified need have taken another step forward in the Ribble Valley. Last summer a number of parish surveys


were carried out across the borough to establish the types of property required, affordability levels and the preference for renting or buying.


Six surveys were completed, one is cur­


rently under way and requests have been received from six other parishes wanting to take part. A report presented to members of Rib­


ble Valley’s Housing Committee said the parish surveys were “another step towards the council ambition of matching the sup­ ply of homes in our area mth the identified housing needs”. The results collated so far noted that

when it came to looking at perceived level of affordability - the maximum people thought they could afford to pay against the actual level, a calculation based on

income - there was a discrepancy, with wage levels not corresponding to individual expectations of what they can afford. Figures show that, in Clitheroe, people


felt they could afford to pay £89,035, but again, based on income, this figure was £48,146 for a lone purchaser or £88,269 as a dual purchase. Similarly, when it comes to average rent,


people in Clitheroe felt they could afford to pay the figure of £67.33, but based on income the amount was only £54.98. In Read and Simonstone, people felt they could pay rent at £78.06; however, calcu­ lated on income the figure was slightly lower at £73.30. The report said that, although there was


currently an oversupply of housing across the Ribble Valley, provision had been made to accommodate affordable local housing.


in housing need felt they could afford to pay £70,886, but based on income they could actually only afford £36,114 if a sole purchaser or £66,210 as a dual purchase. In Read and Simonstone, respondents


Targets described as “stretching but real­ istic” have been set to ensure that Ribble Valley Borough Council continues its com­ mitment to deliver homes that are needed. According to the report, the housing


needs surveys are “a key step towards achieving these targets by establishing the level of need in each parish.” However, the report added that while


meeting the identified housing needs, the council also needed to ensure it does not compromise other policies contained in its Local Plan. As a result, the report said, the council

would “promote the use of brownfield sites/re-use of existing buildings before looking at greenfield areas and would take into account the views of the highway authority in respect of parking provision”. Housing Committee members noted the

Shearling ewes fetch good prices


SHEARLING ewes met an excellent demand, averaging £327, at Gisburn Auc­ tion Mart’s first ever show and sale of pedi­ gree in-lamb Texel females last Saturday. The trade was led by Mrs Gemma Brown,


whose long journey down from Rosewell, Midlothian, was worthwhile when she achieved £1,150. Her second prize Texel shearling ewe, carrrying a single lamb, was bought by Mrs Ruth Guy, of, Richmond, North Yorkshire. Next best, at £950, was Mrs Brown's hus­


band, Mr Alex Brown, with his champion, a shearling ewe carrying twins and sold to D. Spiby, Eccleston, Chorley. Messrs Boden & Davies, of Stockport,


also had a successful day. Their shearling ewe, scanned for triplets, sold for £710 to Mr Alec Steff, of Burnley. Their next lot, anoth­ er shearling ewe scanned for triplets, realised £630. Barnsley-based farmer Steve Richardson's


pen leader was a shearling ewe scanned for twins, which sold for £490 again to D. Spiby. Averages: 49 Shearlings ewes £326.90, 11


ewes £220.91. Auctioneers: Richard Turner &Son. Pictured are Mrs Gemma Brown and Mrs


Ruth Guy with the second prize and high­ est-priced shearling ewe, which sold for £1,150. (s)
