Coun. Highton said he would also like to thank Nick Walker and the Save Whal­ ley Village action group for their work in compiling evidence to assem­ ble objections to to these major plan­ ning applications.

Coun Highton, com- menting on Ribble Valley Borough Counefl’s core strat­ egy said the strategy was not ready for adoption. “Devel­ opers have taken advantage of the delay by submitting further planning ap­ plications for more significant housing developments in the village. I would particularly like to thank oiir chairman . of planning, Coun. Stephen Barker for the many hours of preparation prior to these meetings and respresenting the council at the Rib­ ble Valley planning committee and the subsequent appeal hearing;
