SAY NO TO BOUNDARY CHANGES AND MORE NEW HOUSES IN CLITHEROE

Comments

The health centre and schools are already overstretched with no proposals or plans to increase the number of schools or the health centre. Who will move into Clitheroe if there are no school places? This should be a priority before any more houses. There are plenty of new builds still unsold and until these are no more are required. The roads are a joke and at 3.45 a total joke.

Clitheroe was once a lovely place to live, but with more and. Ore houses being built it is too much not only spoiling the picturesque look of Clitheroe. But it does not feel like the town i was brought up in it has been totaly spoilt already. We definatly do not want or need any more houses.

There are far to many houses in Clitheroe

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-28)

Enough is enough this is madness!!!

The town of Clitheroe has had enough housing developments over the last few years and it is time to say no to anymore!!

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-28)

#22

Clitheroe is already overcrowded with new housing with none of the associated infrastructure

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-28)

#23

I feel that moving the boundaries so that further houses can be built when there is not the infrastructure isn’t available for the current houses that have been built not including houses yet to be built off Pendle Road. If anything I feel that the boundaries be reduced not extended.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-28)

#25

I strongly object to the sites in Clitheroe for more housing. I feel that Clitheroe has seen its fair share of the housing allocation and that sites out of Clitheroe in villages such as Wilpshire, Mellor, Gisburn etc would be more able to cope in terms of infrastructure, school places, GP surgeries etc. There has been too much development too quickly and the Clitheroe residents are miserable with the increased traffic, lack of GP appointments and lack of adequate facilities for people.

(clitheroe, 2018-08-28)

#26

I am signing because the town can no longer sustain any more housing the infrastructure just can not cope with the already past plans. Grid lock on the roads and no amenities already for more people we have a congested health and social sector schools ect.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-28)

#27

Clitheroe have already had there fair share of houses. No new schools have been built, no new doctors etc. The town will be unable to cater for more home. The council now need to listen to the residents of Clitheroe.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-28)

#35

Clitheroe does not have the facilities for more homes

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-28)

#39

There have been too many developments allowed tjis past Ten years to the point of saturation without any increased infrastructure such as scools, GP Facilities and parking areas. Where once our children could play on grasslands now there are houses.
It is no coincidence that areas within our once idyllic Ribble Valley have become flood zones. This is down to the said grasslands being built on !
Please NO MORE DEVELOPMENT of above four houses.

(Billington, 2018-08-28)

Already there are too many houses for infrastructure available in Clitheroe

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-28)

#44

We do not have enough doctors, school places, nursery places, the roads cannot take more cars.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-28)

#49

As a Clitheroe Ian and proud I don't want my town to be more spoilt than it is already becoming when the amenities we have will be useless in the future!

(United Kingdom, 2018-08-28)

Concern about the amount of houses being built, out of proportion for size of small market town like Clitheroe.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-28)

what they going to do build untill the last piece of grass has gone

(clitheroe, 2018-08-28)

#67

i live in clitheroe and unable too get doctors appointments. dentist or park . we do not have the infrastructure to cope as it is

(clitheroe, 2018-08-28)

#70

Infrastructure needs sorting.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-28)

#72

Our town is being ruined. The traffic is shocking. There’s a 3 week wait for an appointment at the health centre. Our beautiful fields and trees are disappearing. Enough is enough.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-28)

#73

I was born in Clitheroe. Living in SouthAfrica, thats how far this has come.
Leave my home town alone!!
There are already WAY too many houses already. Most of the new ones built on dedicated green belts. Been a small town for 2000 years. LEAVE IT ALONE. Theres plenty of open land, go and start a new town sonewhere else.

(Johannesburg, 2018-08-29)

Clitheroe is being completely spoilt. There's no room anywhere anymore. Wait for the crime stats to start rising!! Clitheroe used to be a thriving, lovely descent sized town. Now it's bursting at the seams. So sad. I've lived here all my life, and I'm slowly watching Clitheroe and her heritage being swallowed up by cardboard housing estates.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-29)

#75

So far residents very real concerns have been completely ignored. Clitheroe is already partially ruined and it is sheer madness to build any more due to way insufficient infrastructure plus very real road traffic danger and polluting, awful congestion...

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-29)

#76

what is this stuoid ciuncil tryung to do,kill tge town and its populatiin with fumes, Henthirn road fir example the new A59 with the increse volume if traffic.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-29)

#80

The town simply does not have the infrastructure to support more housing. We need improvements to roads, drains, schools and the health centre before any more multi dwelling plans should be considered.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-29)

#83

Because Clitheroe is a heritage, small market town which is gradually losing its charm and character due to over-building. As a mother of a two year old I am genuinely worried about the lack of school places for him as the number of houses has grown so rapidly but no new schools have been built.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-29)

#85

Too many houses are being build in this area without provision of an infrastructure

(Blackburn, 2018-08-29)

#87

... clitheroe cannot take anymore houses. Infrastructure not there....

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-29)

#88

Clitheroe is already too crowded. Traffic is a complete nightmare getting in and out of town and often gridlocked at peak times and weekends. We have more than enough building going on currently of unaffordable homes!

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-29)

#89

I live in the henthorn area and we cannot cope as it is with the new houses that have been built. the stench of sewerage on henthorn road is apparent every day as well as the significant amount of increased traffic. there has also been a rise in the number of crimes in the area due to people from out of town moving into our lovely town and area. our town cannot cope with more houses and more people. we are waiting for days to get doctors appointments as well as dentist appointments, it never used to be like this when we did not have the extra houses. you cannot expect to put in extra houses with out extra provisions for these people. The amount of traffic flying up and down henthorn road and the surrounding streets is appaling, together with the speed that these people are going. the people who are moving into these houses are mainly from out of town and they do not show any respect for the lovely town, you only have to look at the rise in crime, gun crime and knife crime.

(clitheroe, 2018-08-29)

#92

Too many houses and zero infrastructure to support.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-29)

#93

Enough is enough! We don’t need or want these housing developments on our green belt sites! There is not the infra structure or capacity to support all the people that will move into these unwanted homes. Ribble Valley council have not strategically planned for these houses. The beautiful Ribble Valley with its magnificent countryside and nature are being destroyed! It is a town and country planning mess! No consultation of what the current homeowners and businesses and schools and healthcare want and need! Shambolic!

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-29)

#94

Clitheroe has been ruined! It is no long the lovely old market town it once was. We have had enough!

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-29)

#95

We don't need or want anymore houses being built in Clitheroe. What are RVBC & LCC doing with all the extra council tax they are getting?

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-29)

#102

The amount of traffic/ people in clitheroe is already too many for the town to cope with. There aren’t enough school or doctors to deal with the sudden influx of people that more houses will bring

(Blackburn, 2018-08-29)

#104

I’m signing because the road network won’t be able to cope with an increase in trafgic

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-29)

#105

I’m signing because the road network won’t be able to cope

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-29)

#108

There is too many houses being built, but no infrastructure for new schools or new doctors surgery. Not enough employment in the area. Roads already congested. Ruining a beautiful area with houses.

(Clirheroe, 2018-08-29)

#109

I live off hethorm Road & have seen too many near misses with trucks driving on pavements & double the 20mph paper limit, these trucks carrying rubble & building materials to the new builds. Henthorn Road & its junction with thorn street is very difficult for school children to cross due to the extra traffic from ribble meadows & story homes. Very sad that A lot of parents are now driving children to school instead of walking or cycling due to the traffic on Henthorn, Thorn & Eshton - the only exercise some of today’s teenager do & it’s being taken away to build a handful of houses to rent & a handful of “affordable homes” that cost a lot more than “affordable” terraced homes which Clitheroe have a lot off.

(Lancashire, 2018-08-29)

#114

l believe Clitheroe is at saturation point, and the infastructure cannot cope with further influx of housing and people.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-29)

#116

This has to stop Clitheroe is a market town in a rural spot all these new houses are unaffordable for the local population

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-29)

#119

It is grid lock as it is trying to leave morning and evening more houses will cause more problems. More schools and health services need to be put into place before more housing is built

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-29)

#120

There are already plenty of new houses in clitheroe already, with majority of them been built without forethought of infrastructure whatsoever, especially the ones down henthorn and low moor.
They are mostly all overpriced for most of clitheroes first time buyers forcing people to move out of the area away from family and away from the community they have grown up in.
Clitheroe is already massively overcrowded with cars on every road and parked in every available space.
Please reconsider building in other towns and villages that actually do need and would benefit from more houses.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-29)

#121

Had enough. Too many houses. Losing the RV countryside. No school places, Doctor places, parking, traffic congestion.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-30)

#122

More houses ruins community. Infrastructure is not their to service existing residents.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-30)

#124

Roads and services already overburdened. Enough is enough - enough is enough it simply has to stop.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-30)

#126

I feel Clitheroe does not have enough services for more homes, the government stated more affordable homes need building! But if you look on right move, most of the houses built are 3/4 bed houses at unaffordable prices for first time buyers or homeless people. Ribble valley borough council seem to be making a lot of revenue from these planning agreements , but where is it going? No investment in extra school places, no investment in providing more doctors, no investment in policing , the police station is only part time ! Enough is enough !!!

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-30)

#127

Please leave our town alone it’s overpopulated as it is with all these new builds you are ruining it. how these are passed is beyond me and the people
Who are passing them are clearly blind thick and stupid. Feel free to quote me on that. Tossers

(CLITHEROE (market town not city!), 2018-08-30)

#129

Far to many new homes and no new schools, health centre, Clitheroe hospital to small

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-30)

#134

Leave our town alone, the boundrys are fine as they are

(CLITHEROE, 2018-08-30)

#136

I feel there is already sufficient new housing both existing and being built. There is insufficient infrastructure to support further housing

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-30)

#138

I am signing this petition because I am against more houses being built in Clitheroe.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-30)

#139

Clitheroe is at saturation point with new builds and does not have thei infrastructure to deal with what it’s got already never mind any more.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-30)

#140

No more houses. Boundaries don't need changing again!

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-30)

#142

No to any further boundary changes! Protect our green spaces!

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-30)

#143

Clitheroe doesn't need any further changes to the town boundary which will allow further house building

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-30)

#144

Lack of infrastructure.

(CLITHEROE, 2018-08-30)

#146

No more houses! There are already far too many in Clitheroe. The number of houses is destroying our town as well as causing traffic congestion, increasing pollution and ruining the local habitat.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-30)

#149

For the sake of long term residents. The valley is becoming a building site.

(Whalley, 2018-08-30)

#151

Clitheroe is a lovely market town with a beautiful rural character. It would be such a shame to lose the green space surrounding the town and also have to deal with more pollution and congestion as a result of even more houses.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-30)

#152

I' fed up with being ignored ! Clitheroe has almost ceased to be the place I know.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-30)

#153

Clitheroe already has too many new houses and too many still being built. The town''s infrastructure cannot cope with any more. The excessive development is destroying this lovely town.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-30)

#154

This is the most beautiful area and this would be a disaster for the area. It's selfish and doesn't think about the current residents.

(Lytham St. Annes, 2018-08-30)

#155

The extra houses are putting a strain on local infrastructure, which is already under pressure. The green belt is also diminishing alarmingly fast in the ribble valley.
When you look at the detail of this proposal, it goes against the rvbc Core Strategy document and breaks with policy outlined in the National Planning Policy Framework.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-30)

#156

RVBC are taking the piss! Clitheroe is already screwed because of the amount of houses built. There isn’t the infrastructure in Clitheroe to cope with the population as it is. Never mind more! Where’s the money that’s supposed to have been put into the schools?! Yeh.....exactly! Criminals!

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-30)

#158

There are already so many new houses available. There is absolutely no infrastructure eing added. School places and health services especially seem to be insufficient to cope. Traffic is already increasingly bad.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-31)

#159

I have lived in clitheroe all my Life and brought up my family here, i work in a local school, clitheroe is no longer a happy peaceful safe place but a packed busy tense place, i want a future for my children who are young adults in theur own town

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-31)

#161

A severe lack of infrastructure to support the current developments in Clitheroe is really concerning residents. We call on RVBC to reconsider the land allocation plan & prioritise affordable housing in the surrounding villages, giving young adults an opportunity to remain part of those communities

(Clitherroe, 2018-08-31)

#169

The road system, and infrastructure is already full to capacity.
The local schools are full.
The health system is over stretched in this area.
No provision is being made for any of the above in the planning of these houses.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-31)

#170

I am sick of builder's raping our beautiful countryside.
We do not have the infrastructure to cope with anymore houses in Clitheroe.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-31)

#172

We don't have the infrastructure to deal with more people.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-31)

#176

Clitheroe cannot Cole with more houses. The boundary does not need to change in the first place. The Ribble Valley as it stands is a collection of rural and semi rural villages with commonalities, these changes are breaking that up. Schools cannot cope as it stands now. I fear my child may not get s place in a Ribble Valley School, which is ludicrous when I have lived in the RV for 22 years!

(Mellor, 2018-08-31)

#177

The lack of infrastructure in Clitheroe is severely impacting on the residents of Clitheroe. Further house building will increase this impact. The increase in housing should be shared throughout the area.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-31)

#180

This proposal is absolutely diabolical and obviously not proposed for the right reasons anyone can see the area is already bursting at the seams and the infrastructures Schools health service's etc can't cope now why increase it ? for the life in me i can not understand why or how the people who propose/complete these changes cant understand the damage they will do to the area ! no wonder people who visit Whalley village now name it Whalley city !!

(Whalley, 2018-08-31)

#181

Far too many houses are being built - no more are necessary. Lights are being switched off on motorways to conserve energy and yet hundreds of houses are being built that will use more electricity and gas. We need more schools etc and more reservoirs should be built to accommodate the water consumption for the houses that have recently been built - enough is enough STOP the building NOW

(Blackburn, 2018-08-31)

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-31)

#184

Disproportionately large number of houses being built in Clitheroe and Whalley. Local services and infrastructure already cannot cope with the many new houses already built.

(Whalley, 2018-08-31)

#186

Absolutely ridiculous the amount of new homes being built in and around Clitheroe with no public services being extended.

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-31)

#189

until something is done regarding schooling, health care, infrastructure in and out of the town and the empty shops in the town centre, clitheroe does not need any more houses to be built

(Clitheroe, 2018-08-31)

#193

Clitheroe does not need anymore houses. The town is being ruined! :(

(Clitheroe, 2018-09-01)

#195

As a resident of Clitheroe I’m concerned with the infrastructure already and the current passed plans arnt even finished! The traffic the schools the doctors etc can not cope with anymore houses!!!

(Clitheroe, 2018-09-01)

#198

There is already too many new houses being built in the Ribble Valley, none of which are being made affordable for local residents and are only attracting buyers from outside of the area. The infrastructure cannot cope with all these new residents, local children are struggling for school places and roads cannot cope. This needs to stop now!

(Clitheroe, 2018-09-01)
