Going back to the original resurrection of the thread, is the idea something along along the lines of the Reedley Hallows marina thing at Burnley ?

Sort of, yes. The particular stretch of canal in Rishton is currently a unique opportunity where everything is demolished and no planning permission has been finalised. There is bags of potential here for a thriving commercial/residential development that could be self-sustaining in terms of maintenance.
Any actual development is probably years off but this should set the framework for what eventually ends up there.
