CPRE Lancashire is delighted to learn that the Secretary of State has concluded that there are no material considerations which indicate that the proposal by Cuadrilla should be determined other than in accordance with the development plan. It was therefore concluded that the appeal should be dismissed, and planning permission refused.

A huge thank you to all of our members who have so far responded to our 2018 Christmas Appeal! It has been both heartening and interesting to read the comments of those who have donated to the appeal and we thought we would share with you the motivation behind some CPRE members’ decision to give extra financial support to the charity.

CPRE Lancashire's 2018 Christmas Appeal has been launched: we would be very grateful for any donation, large or small, towards our over-stretched funds to allow us to respond to the growing number of threats to our countryside and our green spaces.

CPRE Lancashire is delighted that local residents and Ribble Valley Borough Council successfully convinced a Planning Inspector to dismiss an appeal by the Trustees of Hammond Ground against a refused planning application due to harm to the countryside.
