The building that Tesco originally put an offer in for, on Burnley road, Clayton, has now got an auction sign on it, so could be more supermarket sweeping going on.

re: Planning Applications
 

I'm not a happy bunny ... nothing on the website since period ending 15/5/09 !!
http://planetsmilies.net/kaos-animal...miley-6082.gif
Yet, last week in the Observer, they had a list of applications. Did they get them sent by HBC ? Can't see that they visited Scaitliffe House to view. Wasn't much anyway, unless you consider Sparth House applying for a swimming pool.
Course you will all know that Tesco's application has now been accepted for Great Harwood ... :(

Are the general public being ignored now with regard to up-to-date information ?

Re: Planning Applications
 

Me thinks that 99.99999% of the GP don't give a damn about planning kate, unless it affects them that is:rolleyes:

Re: Planning Applications
 

Agree to a certain extent Jaysay. It is human nature to take an interest in buildings in your area that would affect you, like large extension to the house next door oveshadowing your own home, planning for a drug centre which may affect the price of your property, new supermarkets which may tread on your toes, transport systems which may take away the parking from outside your front door and change of use to nearby shops.

I think now though there is a slight rise in interest in general applications for the regeneration of our town ... because more information has become available. Years ago ... us working class would not be aware that we could have a say in what the council intended and wouldn't think our voices expressing opinion would have any clout. Now, however, it is there through the media, and through the internet. That is why I am so annoyed that they have not put up any details for weeks !! Someone being sloppy.

We do on here, for example, discuss certain intentions of new developments which would not have been so openly displayed in the past.

re: Planning Applications
 

Kate - all councillors get a list of planning applications (which have been submitted that week) emailed to them weekly. If you give me your email address in a PM - I will send you copies of the emails from w/e 15/05/09)

re: Planning Applications
 

Great Claytonender ... will do .. but I will copy it on here.

Still does not excuse the Planning Department though for the length of time since the last ones were put on their website. Had been set up as a public service which is not being fulfilled, and now taking up your precious time to do what you suggest.

re: Planning Applications
 

And as for the drug rehabilitation centre Kate they know objections are going to be nearly zilch cos hardly any residents at present. Makes me wonder if the new developments backers are going to be best pleased at getting planning permission spending money on re-developing then having this put on the doorstep of the properties.

re: Planning Applications
 

Their is one letter of objection in the Observer Bernie ... don't know whether you have seen it from an elderly couple who live opposite the proposed site.

They feel because the site is more isolated than the original suggestion of Avenue Parade, there will not be as much supervision ordered on Paradise Street/Eagle Street where there is not even a CCTV camera. They already have experiences of large boozing parties on their back drive.

Re: Planning Applications
 

I suspect that figure will be reversed when it comes to the planning application for the mosque.

re: Planning Applications
 

Yep saw it Kate, was my next door neighbour. They share the same bit of back street as me and to be honest would think it is highly unlikely there was ever a boozing party down there. Do understand their concerns given their ages but the facility is needed and as far as I'm concerned the decision was made ages ago. As I said before very few residents to object to the proposal, enough said in my book. Having said that not the best idea in the world to put it next to the skate park IMHO

re: Planning Applications
 

Hope you got the copies of the planning applications that I emailed you. I was about to email the planning dept to ask when the website would be uptodate - but when I checked the website I noticed that the reports were there but in the wrong order.

Re: Planning Applications
 

Whoops .. you are so right Claytender :o Have looked at it many times and never spotted that ... just looked at the top the bottom two. It's in a mess, isn't it.
Suppose I owe the Planning Department an apology.

Gotta' admire this guy his persistency.

Notice in the Observer that the LCC have given notice of application for planning permission for the new bus station on Crawshaw Street ... good.

re: Planning Applications
 

will only benefit visitors n passing motorists though surely.:D

re: Planning Applications
 

Good for who ? :confused:

re: Planning Applications
 

Misery guts ... think it will be a lovely feature .. might as well be a clock and be useful to some at least ... :p

For the town Lancsdave. I think getting rid of the current overcrowded, added and patched up, dangerous to negotiate one we have got now, is a good move. They are offering a state of the art bus station which will be far more visitor friendly and still within striking distance of the shops.

Also, I love the idea of a civic square to replace the old one ... think this will encourage more people to go into this area besides the passing pedestrian traffic going for the bus. Even you, where your stall is, must admit is a very dark oppressive, carbon emissions filled little corridor which isn't pleasant to walk along. Will be so much nicer when it is more open and light. I think it will only increase visitors to your business.

Now, why do you think the bus station should stay where it is then ?

re: Planning Applications
 

We need a purpose built bus station. Peel St was never a bus station. Peel St is just a street that happened to have stops on it.

And there is a difference between what we have now in my opinion, and a proper bus station. It's also got to be in the right place of course.

re: Planning Applications
 

He likes watching young ladies in short skirts bending over to take their babies out of the pram before getting on the bus :eek:

re: Planning Applications
 

Crawshaw Street is hardly ideal for the elderly or people with mobility problems, it is a fair walk in these circumstances.

re: Planning Applications
 

Hardly Bernie... can't get much closer to the Arndale, wouldn't think more than 100 metres at a guess, and if they wish to visit the market, (not all do) is easily linked and short distance ... :confused:

We are a very small centre and don't have to walk very far to get to any of the shops. If you consider where bus stations at Burnley and Blackburn are ... then visitors have much further to walk.

re: Planning Applications
 

But the buses stop outside both Blackburn and Burnley markets more or less, are there going to be stops nearer to our market?

re: Planning Applications
 

Possibly Bernie .. certainly in the regeneration plan looks like Blackburn Road will be made more accessable and converted into 2-way traffic shared space (in front of Town Hall) .. not sure if the buses will still be running across there though, but blimey ! how much closer do you want buses to be than Crawshaw Street. Still feel only a short distance to the market. I don't think this distance argument holds any clout at all.

re: Planning Applications
 

It might seem a short distance to us who are physically ok to get about but as I said the elderly and people with limited mobility might find it a struggle to carry shopping that far.

re: Planning Applications
 

How far will a disabled shopper walk whilst going around town though Bernie... a lot further than the hop from Crawshaw Street to the shops. You can argue that it will be nearer the Arndale if that is shoppers' preference. What happens when they go home and get to their bus stop ... surely will have much further to walk with heavy shopping ?... buses aren't door-to-door.

I think the civil square will also open better pedestrian flow to Little Blackburn Road, Peel Street, Infant Street, and any shops on the other side of the square. Certainly, will not be put off by all the buses up and down Peel Street ... 'tis a nightmare crossing there.

re: Planning Applications
 

One word ..... footfall :)


They don't have all have babies or prams :D

re: Planning Applications
 

Ah well, I have only expressed an opinion on this project, and still feel with the introduction of the civic square, you would see lots more footfall. How lovely would this be to linger and watch any events which, hopefully, will be there :-

Attachment 14179 Ignore the cherry blossom, would only happen in May ... LOL.

We cannot miss this opportunity of a new bus station, as would provide an excellent and more pleasant point of arrival to any visitors :-

At paragraph 15 the Inspector concludes “I have found the Council’s decision
to set aside the views of the previous Inspector, and its failure to provide
evidence to back up its decision, to be unreasonable. I consider that together
these actions have resulted in abortive work leading to unnecessary cost, and
I conclude that a full award of costs be made”
The appellant has now submitted a claim for a full award of costs and this is
for £1950. This has been checked and is in the process of being paid. This
has implications for the Planning service as there is no specific budget for
dealing with such matters.
Whilst the Planning Committee is fully entitled to make decisions that are
contrary to officer recommendation members are asked to note that costs will
likely be awarded in the event that the comments of previous Inspectors are
not fully taken into account as part of the decision making process. Given that
applicants can now apply for costs for any type of planning appeal (written
representations, hearings and Inquiries) it is imperative that decisions are
robust, sound and backed up by policies and above all that decision making is
reasonable.

Looks like the Planning Committe got their financial hands slapped here.
Without going into too much detail .. was to do with not making a decision in time and informing the applicant, therefore causing him costs due to the hold up. Was Northlands, Park Road, Great Harwood re. drive and access.

re: Planning Applications
 

The pub was The Oak Tree Kate:)

re: Planning Applications
 

just curious , (181 Blackburn Rd. ) where was the border between Accy and Church , seems a high number for being so near to the border or am I getting 2 Oak Trees on the same road mixed up ? :confused: :confused:
thanks

re: Planning Applications
 

See what you mean Steeljack ... there is an Oak Tree Inn pub (that was maybe) listed at 438, Blackburn Road, Accrington. This is probably almost in Church. The boundary is somewhere between Tanpits Road and Henry Street junctions. You will have to work out whether that was Church .. not good at the pubs, particularly on Blackburn Road.

181, Blackburn Road is probably on the right going into Accrington ... maybe not long before you get to the viaduct. ?

Bernie ? Do you think you got it wrong, and maybe the Globe or summat ? Or was there 2 Oak Trees ?

re: Planning Applications
 

Talking about Blackburn Road ... noted that an appeal was dismissed for a Hot Food takeaway . maybe the council care about the safety on Blackburn Road after all .. :)

RECENT APPEAL DECISION
Purpose of Report
The attached report advises members of recent appeal decision.
RECOMMENDED that:
Members note the report.

Change of use from offices to hot food takeaway with office

203 Blackburn Road, Accrington, BB5 OAF
Officer Recommendation: Refusal

1 This appeal was dealt with by written representations and was
dismissed on 22nd June 2009
2 The Inspector concluded that the “proposed development would
materially reduce highway safety on Blackburn Road”.

re: Planning Applications
 

Quite possibly is the wrong address for the Oak Tree Kate, just noticed they had changed the front the other week and assumed it was there when I read your post. The only other place I can think of where they have changed the front is the Miners Club which is now a motor accessory place. Could that be the one in your post?

re: Planning Applications
 

Eh hek Bernie, not sure at all ... will have to ask Less or Mick to see what is at 181 on their daily stroll to The Railway (notice I have said 'on' as opposed to 'back' :D).

The Last Orders is 185, so only 2 doors down from that.

re: Planning Applications
 

I think 181 is the Globe as work has been going on for quite some time.

The Oaktree is 438 B'Burn road Accrington and is very near the border with Church.

Looks like it has been converted to an Off License.:theband:

re: Planning Applications
 

Yep the Oak Tree is an off licence now:)

re: Planning Applications
 

Sorry Bernie .. but is this the Oak Tree that was near Church or the 'the other one' nearer to Accrington ?

re: Planning Applications
 

The one near Church, didn't know there was another.

re: Planning Applications
 

:rofl38:But that is 438 .. not 181 ! ... gosh, this has been sooo funny.

We'll blame Steeljack shall we ? ... :D

re: Planning Applications
 

181 is the Globe next to the last orders its on the other side from glynn webs
The Oak tree is 438 is near the garage on Blackburn road at the Church end

re: Planning Applications
 

Thanks Mick and Benipete, and Bernie too.

So settled then Steeljack ... only one Oak Tree near to the border of Church ... notice you asked about the Globe in another thread, now you know what is happening to it.

re: Planning Applications
 

The Oak Tree was virtually next door to the Queen's/Tudor, but not sure after all this time just where the boundary was?

re: Planning Applications
 

We had a thread about it, when they drained the lodge accross the road from it and wanted to shift the boundary so the housing estate wouldn't be split between Church and Accy.
I recall that the boundary was between the pub and the Queens.

re: Planning Applications
 

The Aldi application at Great Harwood was recommended for refusal, wonder if this is what happened at today's planning meeting ? There is a link below (bit long) if you wish to see why .. have to scroll down :

http://www.hyndburnbc.gov.uk/downloa...ermination.pdf

re: Planning Applications
 

Working with Aldi's marketing dept I submitted a positive plea on behalf of residents who will be living close to this store and supposedly this was addressed by the Chair of the planning committee although I haven't heard what the outcome has been as yet!!

i hope we get it, in fact they can sack tesco off for me and just have the aldis...although if both go ahead I do think it will be the death of Co-op unless they bring their prices down dramatically

Re: Planning Applications
 

well the planning has been passed for the aldi store

see excerpt from Email I have received..

I can let you know that (despite the planning officers recommendation to refuse on grounds of need) the planning committee (your locally elected councillors) took a different view – and decided to approve this application. Therefore – I hope you will be pleased that Aldi will be coming to Great Harwood!

The committee’s decision was certainly helped by local residents letting Aldi know their supportive views in the first place, and then contacting/emailing local councillors. Also a local resident spoke at committee as a local resident in support of the proposal – and a number of other local residents also turned up. This all really helped.

As a result, I’m sure you (and other local residents who supported this scheme) will be pleased to see/learn that local democracy in Hyndburn Council really does work – and cllrs made their own minds up on the day.

Please contact me if you require any further information, but as stated I will get a letter out to all residents who have expressed an interest – so all are updated.

Thanks again for your help with this.

Well I am pleased about it :)

re: Planning Applications
 

Thanks Claytonener, must admit thought this one was in the bag :

Accrington sixth form plans delayed over traffic fears (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Still, expect the school runners will be expected to drop their kids off by car until they are 18, so back to plan 'B' I guess for the traffic planners.

re: Planning Applications
 

I spoke against the application, as it was presented to the committee (I was not on the planning committee).

The highways issue is really horrendous and hate to think what the extra pupils would mean, also there are only another 13 car parking spaces in the plans. The schools travel plan (produced in November 2007) states that car parking is a problem. The fact that most of the pupil come from outside the borough (Burnley, Nelson, Fence, Barrowford) makes 'green travel' impossible. The school also intends to have night classes and as the nearest public transport at night is at the junction of Queens Road West and Whalley Road, all the evening students will be using cars to access the building.

The other issue is the siting of the building within the site - a 3 story building over 20 metres high will overshadow the houses on Queens Road West and result in a loss of privacy etc, not to mention the disruption of people and traffic coming and going from 8am to possibly 11pm. The building could be sited in another location on the site but the head wants it to be a 'Statement', so wants it on the Queens Road West site.

re: Planning Applications
 

Got that Claytonender ... the LET report made the objection sound a little petty but, put that way, it isn't ... would be a big problem.

Surely not 'most' of the students coming from the Burnley area? One would hope is there mainly for Hyndburn students.

re: Planning Applications
 

Some of these head teachers have an overdeveloped sense of grandour:rolleyes:
This is to be a learning establishment and will not be competing in the architectural design of the year award - or will it:rolleyes:

re: Planning Applications
 

Can see the argument about traffic - but it would be nice if we had somewhere in
hyndburn for our 'a' level students rather than blackburn.

re: Planning Applications
 

There is a 6th form opening next month at Accrington Academy - so there will be somewhere of 'a' level students in Hyndburn.

re: Planning Applications
 

This is a link to the school travel plan produced in November 2007

http://www.lancashire.gov.uk/corpora...c.asp?id=42143

This shows how pupils travel to school and how many buses etc there are.

re: Planning Applications
 

There will only be `125 places in the new 6th form due for sept 09 - mostly taken from
those on roll from accrington academy itself. I look forward to more choice for other schools when my younger son gets to end year 11. I agree though the traffic wd be as bad as most other schools

re: Planning Applications
 

But traffic is even worse on this road, because it is a major route to the motor way and the fact that so many pupil travel from outside of Hyndburn to the school. If you read the Travel Plan you will see just how many buses there are and the are that they serve. It was also highlighted in the Travel Plan that there is currently not enough car parking spaces for the members of staff at the school, the plans will only extend the car parking by 13 places.

Also the new building will completely overshadow the house opposite.

I do support more 6th Form provision for the children of Hyndburn, (we should not be creating an educational establishment for the children of Burnley and Pendle) but there needs to be a proper evaluation of the impact that it will have on the surrounding community.

Out of interest, which school does your son attend?

re: Planning Applications
 

Yes - see what you mean. Son is at mount carmel - daughter just left so bus to
st marys each day (£380 for the year !)

re: Planning Applications
 

I do agree that it is a problem for Hyndburn children having to go outside the borough for 6th Form education. Can you not get any help towards her bus fares?

re: Planning Applications
 

Why was there no fuss when Accrington Academy were planning their 6th form, yet there is a lot of opposition to the St Christopher's one? :confused:

re: Planning Applications
 

This is just fuss on planning application Lilly, not the ethics.

Not sure, but would think the curriculum for Accrington Academy will be limited.

I'm pleased that the application for the takeaway was turned down. I would have thought that we have more than enough takeaways in the centre of town, without the need for one on Burnley Rd.

Here is one for you Bernard ... to remind people that the document can be viewed and commented on for the Woodnook/Peel Park area:

Re: Planning Applications
 

Thanks for that Kate. For anyone who might be interested in the plans for the Burnley Rd area, there's a chance to have a look at the plans this coming Tuesday 15th from 1pm-7pm at the Stanley Club Stanley St.

A similar event for the Woodnook area will be held Wednesday 16th at the Woodnook Centre, again from 1pm-7pm

The HBC have also improved the search for Planning Applications/Decision Notices .. better than having to keep going in them to find one .. :mosher:

re: Planning Applications
 

We have more than enough Gypsy sites around here already.

re: Planning Applications
 

While they are up there in Ossy,would it not be a good idea for the Germans (Energiekontor) to build the camp for the Gypsies? They have a well documented history for constructing that sort of place...as they say in Germany, "Arbeit Macht Frei."

re: Planning Applications
 

Any camps the germans build will be dismantled by them- just as they started to do with this one
BBC News - Poland police question men over stolen Auschwitz sign

re: Planning Applications
 

Thin end of the wedge again:(

re: Planning Applications
 

I thought they were building a toilet block, not a shower block

re: Planning Applications
 

When it says 'siting of six mobile caravans' .. does it mean that different ones will be coming and going or siting six permanently ? :confused:

re: Planning Applications
 

Your guess is as good as mine kate, gypsies are a law unto themselves :rolleyes:

re: Planning Applications
 

Do they have to pay when they park on these sites?

re: Planning Applications
 

Good question Neil, but if this is a private site, which I think it is, maybe they'll have to pay the guy who owns the site
