Report of the Director of Planning and Development attached.

RESOLVED: (Unanimously)

That members raise no objection in principle to the proposal but ask that Lancashire County Council consider the following aspects:

1.    A commitment to continued discussion with Penwortham Town Council and South Ribble about the open space provision at Ribble Sidings; and

2.    Further consideration is given to the final design of the replacement flood defence wall at Riverside Road.

Members received a report of the Director of Planning and Development which outlined a planning application on behalf of  Lancashire County Council (LCC) which sought approval for flood risk management works to the north and south banks of the River Ribble.

South Ribble Borough Council had been identified as a consultee to the application and so a response was sought from the Planning Committee.

Members were amenable to the proposals and it was subsequently RESOLVED (Unanimously) that members raise no objection in principle to the proposal but ask that Lancashire County Council consider the following aspects:

1.    A commitment to continued discussion with Penwortham Town Council and South Ribble about the open space provision at Ribble Sidings; and

2.    Further consideration is given to the final design of the replacement flood defence wall at Riverside Road.
