I Property ty^coon delighted as ‘ village site is finally approved
_________by Faiza Afzaal_________
THE wait is over for property tycoon Gerald Hitman who will finally see the completion of his exclusive Brock- hall ViUage site.
* Ribble Valley councillors have given the go-ahead for the development of 26 “live/work” units on the luxurious site in Old Langho - the final phase of his devel opment which will see an end to a long- running planning saga. The latest scheme, which came before
members of the Ribble Valley Borough Council’s Planning and Development Committee, will see the introduction of six detached units and three blocks of ter raced units on the remaining undeveloped part of the village, including the former bowling green. One of the detached units sited on the bowling green is next to the existing nurs ery and Watling Terrace and has approxi mately 300m. living space. The blocks of live-work units are in
three areas and include living space and a workroom or workshop. When planning permission was first
granted in 1994, for the redevelopment and reuse of Brockhall Hospital to form a mixed village, it was on the grounds it mixed employment with homes. That planning permission was revised in
1999 to provide for more housing, eating away at the employment part of the site. Mr Hitman always insisted that there
was little or no demand from employers keen to “set up shop” at Brockhall, but the council insisted employment uses must be found. Therefore, in June last year, Mr Hitman
offered free land and buildings for employ ment use at cost price, but no-one came forward to accept his offer. At the time, the millionaire said: “I am offering to build 20,000 sq. ft. of offices, 20,000 sq. ft. of workshops and 20,000 sq. ft. of residen-

tial institutions such as a psychiatric units, secure accommodation or similar. “I am going to seek the council’s help in finding buyers for the buildings at cost
price with the land provided absolutely free.” The offer followed the rejection of a
scheme in January 2005 to build two apartment blocks, each with flats and 14 “live/work” units. Fifteen months later and despite objec
tions from Billington and Langho Parish Council that the proposal will lead to the “creation of an unsustainable community with an inappropriate balance of housing, employment and leisure uses,” councillors decided to approve plans for Mr Hitman’s latest development.
Chief planning officer, Mr John
Macholc said in his report; “I am mindful of the parish council’s comments to con sider that the scheme does not offer effec tive employment and is more appropriate in line to new housing, but I remain of the opinion that having regard to all relevant issues that his proposal does make a con tribution to additional employment with in the borough.” He added that the scheme was in keep
ing with the area. Mr Hitman is delighted with the deci
sion and believes it is the “way of the future.” Speaking to the Clitheroe Adver tiser and Times earlier this week, he said: “Looking back on the development of the village there are a few things of which I
Pupils go for better box than Pandora’s
THE legend of Pandora’s Box has many different versions of how Epimethus and Pandora came to have the box. ■ But common to most, is
that the gods presented her with a box into which each had put something harmful and forbade her ever to open it. However, Pandora was
curious and had to know what was in the box. When she could stand it no longer, she lifted the lid and out flew plagues, sor rows, diseases and all lands of miserable and painful experiences for mankind. The only thing left in

am very proud. I am proud to have built it as a ‘gated’ community, which has given a comforting feeling of security to newly divorced women, people with young chil dren and people who spend long periods away. I am proud we took the opportunity to afford some decent respect to those who are buried in the old hospital cemetery. And I am also proud that the last phase of the development will provide homes for people who want to run their businesses from home. I am sure that this is the way of the future and will be a powerful motor for rural economic and social regenera tion.” • Mr Hitman writes exclusively for the Advertiser and Times in next week’s “As I See It.”

the box was “hope” and, as the story says, “Hope remains to this day mankind’s sole comfort in times of misfortune.” At a recent Year 2
assembly at Oakhill Col lege in Whalley, the chil dren discovered the Pan dora story and added their own twist. They did not want their
box to be full of sorrows, just things that would spread goodness and friendship all over the world. So, into the box went: • A class photograph to
make them think of all the love and support that they give each other • A letter to Santa to
remind them of happy times when the family get together • Bellamy Bear to
remind them of the impor tance of a true friend who never lets you down • Flowers which not
only smell good, but make them feel good inside ► The Bible, which
through the reading of Jesus’ miracles, reminds them that you can never give up hope. Also inside went their
prayers for all the people in the world never to give up hope for a brighter future.
Age incorrect
IN last week’s Clitheroe Advertiser and Times, we reported the opening of an inquest into the death of Mrs Ellen Coates, of George Street, Clitheroe, who died in hospital after suffering a broken hip in a fall at home the previous day. Our report gave her age as 91, when in fact she was almost 96 and very independent. The error was contained in copy sup plied to us. Our apologies go to Mrs Coates’ family.
