Planning committee

Decided by Ribble Valley Planning and Development on 24 Sept 2026.

Approved

Against officer advice: officers had recommended refusal.

  • Officers advised refusal because the pod and bund harmed the area’s character and protected trees, outweighing the economic benefits.
  • Two letters objected over parking, traffic, the bund and events, while four supported the community benefits and limited impact.
  • The committee granted permission subject to conditions, including removal and restoration by 25 September 2031.

Site constraints 5

Local nature reserve about 225 m away: Salthill Quarry
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Radon affected area, class 5
An estimated 10 to 30% of homes reach the radon action level. Indicative for the 1 km square, which takes the highest class found in it; a radon test gives the answer for a building.
From the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency indicative atlas. Under building regulations, as the BRE guide BR 211 (2023) sets out, new buildings and extensions need basic radon protection from class 3 in England and Wales and from class 2 in Scotland, and full protection from class 5. The class at the site itself, from the detailed BGS map, decides which.
UKHSA radon ↗
Also on the record
SSSI about 224 m away: Salthill and Bellmanpark Quarries SSSI; Inside the Clitheroe built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
