I raised objections many moons ago with my then local councillor giving reasons which were valid, and in my view still are.
With regard to my objection to this land being given freehold which would in the long term mean higher council taxes and/or less less council employees and benefits for the whole of Hyndburn I received this written answer from my local councillor:-
<<This issue was voted to be returned to Cabinet for reconsideration, as it was thought that the land should not be sold, but leasehold, so that the Council would have more control on any future developments.>>
