REGENERATION experts have been urged to find alternative premises for a ribbon factory after plans to build up to 200 homes on the site were approved.

Staffordshire Moorlands district councillors yesterday gave the go-ahead for developer Richborough Estates to create houses on the Selectus site in Biddulph.

Selectus had employed more than 400 workers at the Uplands Mill base in its heyday, but that fell to 40 as its fabrics production moved to China.

The firm, which has operated from the mill since 1936, made dozens of workers redundant in 2007.

And a report to councillors stated: "The loss of employment use is regrettable, but the applicant has argued there is little or no demand for this type of property for manufacturing.

"The company intends to transfer all but the specialist production to Selectus China.

"They consider the remaining operation Clip in human hair extensions can easily be transferred to smaller premises which are readily available."

Councillor John Fisher told the meeting: "We are losing industrial sites across the Moorlands on a regular basis.

"The 40 people working there will want to relocate elsewhere in the town.

"I hope our regeneration department will help them help them to do that, so it is not lost to Biddulph and the Moorlands."

But Councillor Jim Davies said: "Forty years ago this was a pleasant greenfield site, but it is now a factory in a heavily populated area.

"Industry is now concentrated at Knypersley and this particular site is redundant."

Councillors were also told that it was the only brownfield site in the town to meet Biddulph's future housing needs.

But residents raised concerns about an increase in traffic.

Biddulph North Residents' Association vice-chairman Bob Hart said: "It surprises me that the highways authority has not made an application for a financial contribution for road modifications.

Mr Hard also raised concerns about nearby wildlife and the impact of extra residents on school places.

The area is a site of biological importance (SBI) and is home to a bat colony. Developers must create an artificial bat roost before demolition starts.

Richborough Estates will build two, three and four-bedroomed houses and one and two-bedroomed flats. One third will be affordable homes.

In 1944 she married John David Cowen, a senior banker. When her husband retired in 1968, they moved to Bisley. They had three children: Lucy, Sophie and John, who now lives at Over Court with his family.

NEW DELHI: Union sports minister, Dr MS Gill on Sunday inaugurated the renovated Dr Karni Singh Shooting Range in Tughlakabad and hailed it as the 'best in the world.'

"The shooting range in China didn't impress me. Here, the shooters will get to shoot in the backdrop of Tughlakabad and Adilabad forts. I'm sure, it's world's best shooting range," he gushed. The range will be used for the Commonwealth Shooting Championship from February 17 to 28 before it also hosts the shooting events of the 2010 Commonwealth Games.

Last week, Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium, the premier hockey venue in the country, was inaugurated.

Ace Indian marksmen like Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, Randhir Singh, Mansher Singh, Moraad Ali Khan and Samresh Jung were present on the occasion.

Given its picturesque location amid vast ramparts, the shooting range is sure to please shooters from across the world.

The range which was set up during the Asian Games in 1982 became dilapidated due to poor maintenance and obsolete due to rapid changes in technology in recent years. Thankfully, after the demolition of the old structure, Karni Singh Range now sports a new look with state-of-the-art-technology.

The separate ranges for trap and skeet are now converted into new composite ranges with latest scoring equipment.

Silver medalist at the Athens Olympics in 2004, Rajyavardhan Rathore, who knows the range as well as anyone else, said: "The range is new and bigger. Thanks to the government, we've got a fantastic shooting range. Tomorrow, the camp starts here and we look forward to utilizing the facilities here."

Veteran trap shooter, Moraad also praised the effort for creating a 'magnificent' range. But he felt that the range should also allow amateur shooters to use the facilities.

Total budget: Rs 150 crores
