Land west of Preston Road, Longridge, has been earmarked for dozens of new houses

Plans for more than 90 homes near Longridge in the Ribble Valley will be looked at by borough councillors this week, linked to changes to a previous blueprint. Applicant Adam Dohren of Building C in Warrington has submitted an application for 91 homes at Alston Grange, on land west of Preston Road at Longridge.

Some work at the Longridge location is currently under-way and in phases. This proposed new phase includes bungalows and larger houses, according to a planning report for Ribble Valley Borough Council.Some objections to the scheme have been sent to the council raising worries about loss of privacy, the environmental impact and roads.

A planning report for councillors states: “The proposal seeks consent to erect 91 units, together with access roads, landscaping, footpaths, public open space and a children’s play area in the form of a re-plan of a previously approved reserved matters scheme . The re-plan would incorporate a net gain of 12 units [homes].”

Planning officers say the Longridge location has a wide range of facilities and services, and good public and private transport links. Councillors are recommended to defer approval, subject to further work by the council’s head of economic development.
