A COUNTRYSIDE building “free-for-all” will begin unless government and local commu­ nities act now, according to the Campaign to Protect Rural Eng­ land... Its national president,- Sir Andrew


Motion, has issued a rallying call amid claims that the Government’s new : planning rule book threatens to be a builders’charter; “I; don’t think this Government ' wants to wreck the countryside,but

it is going to do so unless it changes course,” said Sir Andrew.


- r‘‘The-National Planning Policy Framework came into full force on March:27th and^it is proving to be’- groundbreaking in all the wrong ways. Developing greenfield sites unneces­ sarily and with inadequate local con­ sultation is entirely the wrong way to • make sure that .we get the new homes.. the country so badly needs; - • - ; . • “This is a charter for builders and


truly irreversible damage is'already underway.” ■

IST.Grindleton Brownies have been doing their Friend to Animals Badge, so we went on a trip to Blackpool &o. At Blackpool Zoo I put my bag in a


party room and got a partner and went outside.


We had a wander round a bit then we


went to have a talk with a lady called Na­ talie. We talked about endangered ani­ mals. One extinct animal is the dinosaur. When the talk was over we went to look


at some other animals like birds and mon­ keys, and looked at the lemurs, penguins and sea lions. We had lunch and went back outside to look at the elephants, giraffes and more birds. we went on the Dinosaur Safari. It was


making noises and there were loads of di­ nosaurs. Then we went to the shop. I got a cuddly owl. It was a Snowy Owl and I called it Alice.

L p e are struggling to keep up with bargain-hunters’ dem'ands as donations of items such as clothes, cookware, and books have fallen off dramatically in the past few months. ' , Usually the team put 650 new


items on sale every day, but this has fallen to about 300. ■ Shop manager Kelly Prince


said:_“Our stock room is usu- ally.piled high, but now it’s almost empty. ’’Although this is a good thing


as it means we have sold what we had, we cannot cope with the in­ creasing demand i f nothing comes in. We simply can’t sell fresh air.” ■ Kelly and her team are ap­


pealing for donations of men’s women’s and children’s clothing, crockety,^books, CDs and DVDs. She said: “We have a lot of lo­ cal supporters who donate regu­


At the end of the 12-month transi­


tion period for local councils to pre­ pare local plans in line with the: Na­ tional Planning Policy framework the CPRE is deeply concerned and says there is clear evidence that:


^ • The requirement to supply at least five years’ worth of “deliverable” sites for housing is being used to push through unnecessary and damaging development in open countryside. • Greenfield sites are being devel­


oped when suitable brownfield sites are available. New guidance should


be produced by the Government to ensure-that suitable and available brownfield land is used before green­ field sites, it says.


' . • Localism is being undermined


because councils have not been given enough time to get up-to-date lo- 'cal plans.in place, and 75% of local authorities in a new survey said they would be cutting planning budgets, some by up to 50%.


, ■ • Threats to our countryside are


urgent and real, and even affect those areas currently protected by


the Green Belt. Councils who have so far failed to get a local plan in place


: - including Ribble Valley Borough Council -; are now subject to the “pre­ sumption in favour of sustainable de­ velopment”-. Neil Sinden, CPRE’s Director of


Policy.-and Campaigns, said: “The Government’s rhetoric is all about localism, but it is now clear that local comrnunities are increasingly power­ less to prevent damaging develop­ ment even in the most sensitive loca­ tions.”

ILLEGAL off-road mo­ torhiking is threaten­ ing wildlife alongside a moorland road. The Hornby Road,


linking Slaidburn with Hornby, crosses miles of nationally important moorland designated for its wildlife interest. Legally, it can only


used by pedestrians,- horse-riders and cyclists, and also has a special designation allowing road-legal, two-wheeled motor vehicles.. ■


; But now more and


more motorbike riders are abusing that right of access and leaving the road to ride on private moorland.


Now conservation groups. United Utilities


•Council have joined forces to reduce the risk of disturbance to rare ■ and protected wildlife.


and Lancashire County


. New warning signs have been put up, and police are to swoop on illegal riders. Elliott Lorimer, prin­ cipal officer for the For-


, est of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), said: “The Bowland fells are recognised both nation­ ally and internationally for the important birds


: and habitats found here, and the Hornby Road ' crosses right through this important habitat and allows its users to experi­ ence the remote heart of the AONB. However it is


critically important that they respect the area.” Jude Lane o f the


RSPB' added: “The' Forest of Bowland has . always been the strong-' hold for breeding hen harriers in England, but it is also home to other ’ important species such , as peregrine and merlin. “Many smaller, more'


elusive birds also breed here such as ring ouzel and whinchat, both of which are experienc­ ing dramatic popuiation • declines. “Disturbance, from motorbikes leaving the road can have a huge impact on whether these . birds are able to raise young successfully.” Tony Walsh, Police Constable for the Bow­


land District, said: “Any­ one found to be riding bikes off the Hornby road or causing alarm or distress to other us-


; ers of the road could end up having their vehicle seized by the police. . “We will be increas­


ing our presence on the road over the spring and summer in order to catch those breaking the law. “We would like to ask


. the incident. “If you have no phone


• anyone who witnesses motorcycles off the main Hornby road to call the police on 101 and report


signal but can take a photograph please pho­ tograph the incident and report as soon as you are back in reception.”

larly to our shop, which we’re extremely grateful for, but we are still struggling. ,


• “We are looking for qual­ ity items, no matter how big or small.” Kelly pointed out that items can


be donated under Gift Aid, which gives the charity an extra 25p in the pound through reclaiming tax. She added: “Anything we can­


not sell gets recycled through our recycling partnerships, so nothing goes to waste.”
