The photo of housing in Huncoat, they are council flats, not houses which are in short supply and of course Huncoat is a desirable place. Currently 68 families are on the waiting list for Within Grove alone and 3,300 people are on the waiting list for Council Houses across Hyndburn. I asked this week.
Graham sorry that one is in a private development, I took the photo direct from the developers web site, but yes they are flats, as are all the others, and all in private developments.
Not far away in Colne there is the same sort of property in the pipeline.

From the Elevate East Lancashire web site I notice the item of density of new build that they propose, and that is 30 to 50 units per hectare, a hectare is 10,000sqm or a patch of land 100mx100m.
Is this the type of property to replace rows of terraced houses, 10 years down the line, they will be knocked down.
The project on longsdale street, the new build following the removal of all the terraced houses is 29 houses for rent. (as per the Elevate web site)
Is this progress.
