It is obvious from the recent county council elections that Clitheroe residents are ex-j tremely concerned about over development. The top three'; candidates all campaigned on; this issue and received 88% of votes cast. ^•'■ •'•jSobn RibbleiValley'Bor;,- ough Council’s planningcomTi mitteewill be debating thej 1,040 Standen “Super Estate” ’ application and its implica-i tions for Clitheroe.But be-: fore any decisions are made; here’saremlnderoflastyear’s ; events.' , '

date supporting information, meaning the'public meeting, would be delayed six to nine


‘ months and held towards the end of 2013. This means Clit-. . heroe residents have not yet .

■ Currently outline or full permission has been granted for the building of 836 houses in Clitheroe. If the Standen; application is permitted we will have 1,876 houses with granted permissions. That is 176 more than contained in the Core Strategy and 876 more; than CRAG insist Clitheroe: need. Granting this applica­ tion can only be achieved by


- presumption. The planning authority will be presuming theinspectorisgoingto agree with their figures against the express wishes o f the com- ■ munity. Once the application is accepted there is no going - back. If consultation means anything planning officers


.will recommend refusal of


• the. Standen application and the planning committee will' enforce that decision. It is not


; the fault of residents that we have been unable to consult


' the person that'rhatters. ,: There are numerous rea­ sons to decline the applica-


Tlon.'The NPPF document, ' which is the Governments own planning “bible”, con- • .tains a section-on “Promot-


;.ing Sustainable Transport”. ' Here it states safe and suita­


ble access to the site should be achieved for all people.


It is neither “safe” nor “suit-


. ableT to have over 1,500 cars „ accessing this new super es­ tate via one entrance on Pen- dle-Road. The Littlemoor ? - entrance will now only be ac­


cessed by emergency vehicles, cycles and pedestrians. ;Cars required for com­


muting to work, completing ; the school run and doing the shopping can only escape via;


Pendle Road. Or might it be­ come Pandemonium Alley?
