  • Barn Adjacent to Manor House Farm, Paythorne
    BARN ADJACENT TO MANOR HOUSE FARM, PAYTHORNE Preliminary Roost Assessment (European Protected Species) Barn adjacent to Manor House Farm, Paythorne, Clitheroe Survey date: 14/03/2018 Introduction Since 2008 bats have been included in the list of UK Biodiversity Indicators which aim to show the response of species to the pressures, changes and threats to our natural and built environment. The Local Planning Authority is required to take account of the impact of a development on protected species in accordance with current planning policy (National Planning Policy Framework). A preliminary roost assessment was undertaken by David Fisher, EED Surveys (Licenced surveyor) at the request of Ian Swain (WBW Surveyors Ltd). Scoping surveys may be undertaken during daylight hours at any time of year and are not dependent on whether bats or wild birds are active at the time of the site visit. The survey includes inspection of all external and internal features looking for evidence of roosting, perching and feeding or flight activity by bats. The principle aim of the survey is to determine the presence of European Protected Species and to establish whether bats, barn owls and other wild birds such as barn swallows, swifts and house martins have roosted / nested within any part of the building that is likely to be affected by the proposed development. Ribble Valley Borough Council requires an appraisal of the likely impact of the proposed development on all bat species and other protected species that are present or likely to be present at the site, in addition to any mitigation, compensation and enhancement works that may be necessary before any works are undertaken.

  • 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.
