Discussion on new ; housing development and care home plan
Plans to build 20 newhomes'
- along with three extra care apartments a s so c ia ted with a 60 bed care home have been given the initial thumbs up. Outline planning permis
sion, which means for per- • mission in principle, has been granted with all mat ters reserved for subsequent approval for the Clitheroe development.
- The plans for the site,
which consists of two fields' off Chatburn Road,'were
- discussed by Ribble Valley Borough Council’s planning committee on Thursday. - No objections were re-
> ceived from Clitheroe Town ; Council regarding the plans,
. • but three letters were sub- , mitted by local residents. One of the objections raised was that the increased sur face water run-off as a result ofthe development could re sult in the flooding of exist-
s ing homes in the locality. It was added that this problem : could be further exacerbat-
■ -.ediftherewastobeaphase ' twoofthedevelopmentonto
the field adjoining the Colth? irst Drive estate. . . Meanwhile, the Environ
ment Directorate’s Coun ty Surveyor stated that the Chatburn Road/Pimlico Road junction roundabout design had been reviewed and improvements to the gepmetry ofthe roundabout recommended. This work would have to be carried- out as a condition of the ap-' proval being given, as would the construction of a pedes trian crossing on Chatburn Road near to Clitheroe Royal Grammar School’s main site. A total of 22 conditions will have to be met. Areporttothecommittee ■
by a planning officer stated:- “Although this is agreenfield site, the proposed develop- ■ ment would have only a lim ited degree of landscape and visual impact.” . They added: “The ap
proach into Clitheroe along ■ Chatburn Road does form the setting for the town, but there are few locations along this road when housing is currently not visible.”
