Plan for 1,300-home mega development off M6 'could put 100 farmers out of business'
Farmers near Samlesbury could be put out of business if plans to build a 'mega development' of 1,300 new homes are given the green light.
In an objection, Gafoor bosses highlighted that their processing plant uses groundwater from the Red Scar Basin. The firm pumps 100 cubic metres of water from the basin every day and they have raised concerns the development could impact on the quality of the water. Another formal consultee which has registered an objection is the Woodland Trust. The trust highlights 'potential deterioration and detrimental impact' to two areas of ancient woodland; Cuerdale Wood East and Huntley Wood.
Booth Charities is a collection of charitable organisations whose origins date back to 1630 when Salford-based merchant Humphrey Booth set up a charity to purchase bread 'for the benefit of the poor'. It is not known if any agreement has been reached between Story Homes and Booth Charities regarding the sale of the land.
"If they do not act in accordance with the statutory requirements and the Charity Scheme then they face action being taken against them personally. Each of the Trustees is a volunteer who does not benefit personally from the proposed development.
