The former Roaming Roosters farm shop could be levelled
New homes could be built at the site of a former farm shop, restaurant and farm activity centre in Pendle, located in green belt land.
“Comments have been made by many parties regarding the green belt. Many revolve around the view that the site is in green belt and there should not be any development within it. Nearby are the listed buildings of Ashlar Cottage and Lower White Lee. However Pendle planning officers say the new development would not impact on them. Regarding designs for the new homes, the report adds: “The applicants have submitted a detailed design appraisal of how the proposed design has been arrived at and how it has been influenced by other design in the area. The designs are simple and reflective of what can be found elsewhere in the borough.
Area committee changes Because of ongoing changes at Pendle Council, areas committees can now only comment about planning applications rather than make formal decisions. Pendle Borough Council is creating a new central planning committee to deal with all applications in future. However, until the new planning committee’s size and remit is fully defined and formally constituted, planning decisions are being taken by all borough councillors at full council meetings.
