Preston City Council leader Matthew Brown on sepsis, two week hospital stay and paramedics breaking down the doorReview: A visit to the Preston restaurant that’s Thai-ing up Lane EndsA business units plan for a Longridge farm site has been rejected by Ribble Valley councillors, who heard they had gone from being offered ‘an Eiffel Tower to a Blackpool Tower’ instead.
“It demonstrates a commitment to show the Ribble Valley is where enterprise can flourish. It strikes the right balance and is deemed acceptable in all technical aspects. It is designed to a very high quality for sustainability and includes solar PV technology. It delivers on local plan objectives and is sensitive to its location.
“While the site is designated employment land it is also in open countryside. So this committee has an obligation to ensure any proposal meets the highest standards. “We know it’s possible to deliver developments which are more sympathetic. Ribchester’s Manor Court is an excellent example, as is The Planks in Garstang. Even the applicant for this Longridge site has previously submitted plans that were far-more in-keeping – and were rightly approved. The previous application set a standard and proves it is possible to deliver development that aligns with policy.
Conservative Kevin Horkin said: ” I welcome the job creation potential with this but we have seen other applications turn into something utterly different to what was planned. Look at the A59 at Clitheroe. That was not supposed to be a retail park. But look at it now. Green Coun Malcom Peplow: “There’s a fantastic development in Mitton Road, Whalley, that sits well in its setting. Regarding Longridge, I would be happy to support a design which Longridge councillors supported. So this is not opposed in principle. We’re not saying no, never. We’re saying it’s possible but come back again.”
