Re: Whitebirk planning application.

What if Peel Holdings pulled out and closed the site down, HBC would loose out then big stile.
Looks as though our 'councillors'(butchers, bakers & candle stick makers) know better than the professional planners (who said yes to the application)

Will our Councillors also vote yes to a planning application for an industrial site, to the south of the whitebirk retail park, an industrial site that could affect the lives of residents living on Windsor road Knuzden
see page 23 Accrington Observer Friday 22nd June.

They won't pull out. They'll carry on renting out units, selling the goods they are allowed to sell.

I would not be to sure about that, the whole site is looking a little tatty and in need of refurbishment.There is a lot of wasted empty space on there.

Are there empty units? I didn't notice last time we were there - tend just to go into the place I'm aiming for and then come home.

The one next to Comet, used to be Scottish Power, is that not empty as is one further along that side. Then look on past those units there is a lot of space not used.

Re: Whitebirk planning application.

I've never noticed. Like I said, I just tend to make a bee-line for where I'm going and then come back again. Is that overgrown land type space past those units?

Re: Whitebirk planning application.

Yes, I think the retail site extends back up to the Canal, there is some other industrial land identified on HBC's borough plan, but the plan is a little out of date

Re: Whitebirk planning application.

Let's hope common sense prevails, and they loose their appeal, it makes no sense to move your retail base to another town. We have no decent white goods outlet in the town centre since they were allowed to retail them at Whitebirk, this would have been the beginning of the end of the rest of them. What about the choices of the citizens without transport or access to the internet, they deserve the benefit of competitive retaling as well.
