RVBC are asked to check that building works ! conform to legal standards/ ; requirements for drainage and run-off.’^ There were no objections to the proposed demolition ofpart ofthe rear: . of the property and a proposed conservatory extension at : ; ■ 129 Whalley Road and a re- ; • submitted application for a . two-storey rear extension at . 23 Pendle Street West.; :
