Plan for huge new estate in park setting of a Pendle village thrown out

A plan for almost 80 homes in a parkland setting of a Pendle village has been refused by borough councillors

.

“In each case, this [Barrowford] application passes planning policies. This proposal should be supported by Pendle Council. I realise we have members of the public here who feel quite extreme. However, if you follow policy, you should support it.” “Beck’s plan for a footpath through the new site is nonsense. There are also concerns about the site’s closeness to the village’s conservation area. I cannot see that conservation discussions have happened?

“Who has the vision for Pendle? A millionaire living on the Isle of Man? Speculators? Or councillors? He added: “One of the main reasons to refuse it may be the significant impact on the conservation area? Some experts say the impact will be minor. That’s a matter of opinion. Does it bring sufficient benefits to residents? No. It would increase traffic and make attending appointments more difficult. I move refusal and urge all councillors to oppose it.”
