Re: Homes at ‘pickle works’
Quote:
Residents Fight Homes Plan (from Lancashire Telegraph)
The council has withdrawn opposition to Barratts plans.
" The scheme will see 28 apartments and 31 houses built, some of which will be three storeys high.
The site, which is bounded by the former landfill site at Stanhill Quarry and the green belt at the edge of Oswaldtwistle, is known locally as the pickle factory.
The public inquiry and appeal will take place at Hyndburn Council's Scaitcliffe House offices in Ormerod Street, Accrington, on Tuesday, February 12, starting at 10am

I think there has been a directive from HM gov to all Planning authorities regarding the refusal of applications which the gov say has reduced the number of houses built over the last 5 years. Why else would HBC planning officers do a 'U' turn. Shall have to find out more information
