IX THIS is what Barrow residents fear might happen, (s) by Vivien Meath
AN application to build 55 homes in Barrow has brought to a head village concerns over traffic con gestion. Residents attending a public meet
ing in the primary school voiced fears that any development on the former printworks’ site exiting on to Whal- ley Road would spell disaster. A traffic survey accompanying the
application, lodged by Newclose Properties Ltd, stated that the traffic element of the scheme would be “minimal”. The survey was carried out 12
months ago and a number of the 50 residents attending the meeting, called by the parish council, said that the situation had vastly worsened since then. Local residents have carried out
their own surveys during March this year. In one, between 8 a.m. and 9-10 a.m. on a Monday, 1,043 cars and
vans, 33 buses, eight heavy goods
vehicles and two motor bikes were recorded. The applicant’s survey 12 months earlier stated that 526 vehicles were
recorded between 8 a.m. and 9-30 a.m. The application, for general market
housing, stated that considerable dis cussion had already taken place with the council.
It added that a commuted sum
would be made available to the coun cil to allow it to provide affordable housing throughout the area of the borough, with 17.5% of net revenue from the market housing agreed. “I was under the impression no
housing could be built in the.Ribble Valley other than low income,” stat ed one of those present. “That’s quite true,” replied Coun.
Robert Thompson (Wiswell and Pendleton), explaining that new homes had to be affordable, apart from a small number for exceptional needs.

Villagers in fear of traffic chaos from plan for 55 homes
He told the audience that the
application, as it was presented, did not meet the Ribble Valley Borough Council’s policies for land use, stress
ing that all objections or comments made would be taken seriously. Vice-chairman of the parish coun
cil, Mr Ian Mcauslane chaired the meeting and told residents that the council had agreed to extend the peri od of consultation on the plans until April 15th. Explaining the site’s lengthy back
ground, Coun. Thompson said that a recent change of ownership had evolved a different use of the site, that housing was being pursued for the part which had been occupied by the printworks’ buildings, demolished three decades earlier. Concern was expressed about the
site’s drainage, with residents stating that sewers could not take the current water capacity. One adjacent proper ty had been flooded and there were fears that the situation would worsen. Documents lodged with the appli
cation stated that there was sufficient capacity, something those living near by immediately challenged. Planning permission for the origi
nal Enterprise Park stated that all traffic should exit on to the A59. Property developer Gerald Hit
man, who owns a parcel of land in Barrow, told the meeting that any flow of traffic from the site on to Whalley Road would be in breach of the council’s adopted local plan. But he added that public consulta
tion was starting on the plan’s replacement. Several people questioned whether,
if housing was granted permission, access could be routed on to the A59. Others expressed concern that the
development of housing on the site could threaten greenfield sites around Barrow. “Do we have any feedback on why
the owners of the land won’t sell it for light industrial development?” asked a resident, reminding the audience that the application pointed to lack
of interest in the latter as one of the reasons for an application for part housing. “Is it money - can they make more
money out of housing?” he asked. “It’s land not owned by the council,
so the landowner has the right to sell to whoever he pleases,” replied Coun. Thompson, who added that he was disappointed that the land, next to a very good road network, had not been full years ago. Responding to a question with
regards to schooling, the head of Bar- row Primary School said that five children a year were admitted from Barrow, Pendleton and Wiswell, the rest were from the surrounding vil lages. “At the moment, we are pretty
much full,” she added stating that children from Barrow were given pri ority and that an intake of 17 chil dren annually was maximum. Residents were asked to make their
concerns known to the borough coun cil by April 15th.
