Concerns that removal of pond could lead to extra homes
A new plan for changes to parts of a housing development in Longridge has led to objections around the loss of open space.
Applicant Karl Illingworth, of Stockport Developments Ltd, wants to vary conditions in an updated plan for 52 new houses, conversion of a former barn and refurbishment of an existing house on the site. Regarding the proposed pond's removal, Clitheroe-based D2 Architects wrote last year in support of Mr Illingworth to Ribble Valley Council. The architects' letter states: "The main purpose of this variation is to remove the pond from the eastern end. The site is being sold to a housing association which has expressed concerns about health and safety implications of a pond for their future residents.
