Most recent planning applications in the ward have been minor, mainly extensions.

 

Three stand out

Houses at the back of Heathcote Road. There was considerable opposition to this. We did at least get the number of houses reduced. However with the Borough Council’s lack of housing sites this was a difficult one to fight.

 

Wind Turbine near Heighley. This was passed with considerable conditions.

 

Work at Doddlespool. Again this was passed, but the conditions imposed have cut out the excessive tipping that was being carried out here. We are disappointed that the Environment Agency did not action, but we are grateful to the County Council for their advice on this one.
