Nearby cities include Preston (12 miles), Blackburn (5 miles), and the towns of Burnley (14 miles) and Clitheroe (6 miles). 2.2 The site is situated to the north of Langho and measures approx 5.4Ha. 2.3 The site is bounded by Longsight Road (A59) and arable land to the north. To the west the site is bounded by arable land; to the south is the railway station and railway line and Langho’s suburban neighbourhoods beyond. To the east is Northcote Road, which serves private residences. 2.4 The site topography falls towards the north by approx. 14m.

The site approximately 5 miles to the south east of Whalley, 6.5 miles to the south of Clitheroe, 5 miles north of Blackburn, and connected to other local neighbourhoods and the M56 motorway. Public Rights of Way 3.2 The surrounding area is designated as accessible countryside at the urban fringe and is accessible by foot and by cycle on a network of public rights of way and country lanes. 3.3 There is a public footpath located to the west of the site runing from the railway station towards the A59. Cycle 3.4 National Cycle Route ‘Lancashire Southern Loop’ is located to the south of the site which serves Pendle, Blackburn, Burnley, Chorley and West Lancashire areas and can be accessed via the lightly trafficked Whinney Lane and York Lane. In addition, the A666 Whalley Road benefits from an on road marked cycle lane. Public Transport 3.4 Langho railway station is accessible from within the site which has hourly services to Clitheroe and Manchester providing connections into the Figure 2: Movement wider national rail network, and therefore the site is highly sustainable. There is a bus stop on Whalley Road (A666) by the railway station entrance, Site services stopping here include: 22, 155, 522, 620, 844, 856, 860, 862, 865, Public Rights of Way 280.

It is a particularly well settled area and provides a corridor for communication routes along the Ribble Valley”. Lower Ribble Valley Lower Ribblesdale Figure 3: Topography and Landscape Character KEY Site - 50m Mellor Ridge 50 - 100m 100m - 150m 150m - 200m 200m + 0 1km 2km Landscape Character Area 7 5.0 LOCAL DESIGNATIONS Local Plan Designations 5.1 The proposals map from the adopted Ribble Valley Districtwide Local Plan (1998) sets out the various policy allocations and designations within the area and the relevant landscape designations are shown in Figure 3. 5.2. This shows that the site falls outside the Green Belt which extends to the south and east of the site and is bounded by the railway line. In addition, the site is not located in a protected landscape area such as a National Park, Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, or any other locally protected area. 1 5.3. Furthermore, there are no Listed Buildings or Conservation Areas close to the site. The nearest Listed Buildings are: 1. Chapel of St. Leonard, Grade I 2. Mytton Fold Farmhouse, Grade II 3.

An approximate storm water attenuation volume of 900m3 will be required. • Surface water storage will be dispersed (not within a single drainage feature); run-off volumes for the 1 in 100 year event will be managed on site; run-off rates will not exceed Greenfield rates; drainage infrastructure will be accessible for monitoring and maintenance and exeedence events of the proposed drainage system in excess of the 1 in 100 year event will be managed on site. • Foul discharge to public sewer will need to be agreed with United Utilities plc. • A Sewage Pumping Station will be required.

    www.ribblevalleyrail.co.uk RIBBLE VALLEY RAILNews July Number 113 2016 Langho in Bloom A recently formed group 'Langho in Bloom' have very quickly established themselves in the village and transformed some of the grot spots, in particu- lar in the area surrounding the railway station. The group have also worked with the Friends of Langho station on the station approach in particular around the underpass and station garden area and made a noticeable difference to the areas enhancing the passenger experi- ence. Planting adjacent to subway at Langho station carried out by Langho in Bloom. Photo: Brian Haworth The group, with permission from Network Rail have also removed overhang- ing bushes from the embankment close to the railway bridge and planted the area with plants that will give some colour to the embankment next year. It is brilliant to work in partnership with such a dedicated group and members of Friends of Langho Station would like to record our appreciation of the work so far carried out with 'Langho in Bloom' and look forward to continued partner- ship working. Embankment cleared of scrub & awaiting planting. Photo: Brian Haworth From the Chair July 2016 Travelling along the Ribble Valley Line passengers cannot help but be im- pressed by the colourful displays in the flowers tubs at Clitheroe, Whalley, Langho, Wilpshire and Darwen. These flowers do not suddenly appear, it is down to the hard work undertaken by the Friends of Stations groups along the line who undertake the planting and upkeep of the flower tubs. We are very fortunate to have the help of the Whalley in Bloom and the re- cently formed Langho in Bloom groups who have been assisting us at their local stations.

  • Review of the Borough of Ribble Valley
    Boundary Review Review of The Borough of Ribble Valley Ribble Valley Borough Council - Warding Proposal To the Local Government Boundary Commission for England January 2017 Ribble Valley Borough Council set up a cross‐party working group to consider proposals on the warding patterns with support from officers. The group recognised that changes were required in order to gain electoral equality across the borough. Some wards are already outside the +/- 10% variance and other wards will be by 2022 following expected development. The electoral forecast for 2022 is 48,027 which equates to 1,201 electors per Councillor (currently 1136). The working group worked on a number of options. The working groups preferred option was submitted to Policy and Finance Committee on 24 January and the committee approved the option being submitted as the Council’s proposals. The Council has followed the principle of trying to keep parishes as a whole, however it was considered it was impossible to make the numbers up (retaining 40 members) without splitting two parishes. Please find below the Council’s proposals: The Proposals Having considered the forecast electorate and warding it is recommended that remaining with 40 Councillors would provide efficient and effective representation to the public and best enable appropriate warding proposals. Calculations based on alternative numbers of Councillors, for example 41, didn’t work across the borough and in some wards created even bigger variances. The review started by looking at the wards at the outermost edges of the borough in the north east and south west of the borough - as there is less scope for changes to boundaries in these areas due to being surrounded by other boroughs.

  • Ribble Valley Settlement Hierarchy
    RIBBLE VALLEY SETTLEMENT HIERARCHY Executive Summary Observations The summary below is derived from the more detailed analyses of the contextual and demographic data set out in Appendix 1 and the local services and facilities data described in Appendix 2. • Clitheroe stands out as the most significant settlement within the Borough, with the best provision of services and facilities • The next two settlements, Longridge and Whalley also stand out from all other settlements in terms of provision across all the various service and facilities categories. While Whalley is smaller than some other settlements, such as Langho and Wilpshire, they have significantly poorer service and facility provision. In Wilpshire’s case this could be due to the services in the area falling into adjacent parts of Blackburn. • Eleven settlements clustered towards the bottom of the hierarchy all scored poorly across nearly all categories. These are: Osbaldeston, Tosside, Copster Green, Pendleton, Sawley, Calderstones, Newton, Wiswell, Rimington, Worston and Holden. Only in terms of community facilities did a few of this group, Pendleton, Newton and Rimington, have good or reasonable provision. This leaves 21 remaining settlements within the hierarchy with a spectrum of provision between these two extremes. There are no significant “step changes” within this group, however those towards the top of this group, scoring 20 and above points were considered the initially most likely to possibly act as more local centres. It could be argued that this 20 point limit is somewhat arbitrary however. • This group contains: Langho, Mellor, Chatburn, Ribchester, Waddington, Dunsop Bridge and Sabden. Most of this group, perhaps unsurpringly, have relatively large populations of over 1000, with only Waddington and Dunsop Bridge being smaller.
