Summary
Plans to turn the historic Heather Inn into a 14-room hostel-style housing project have been rejected after fierce local opposition. Residents feared it would attract vulnerable groups and lacked communal spaces, while planners cited Longridge’s limited amenities — no shop beyond a chip shop, poor transport, and distant services — as making the development unsuitable. Despite claims of affordable housing and proper licensing, the council sided with the community, opting instead for more fitting uses like a shop or standard flats.
