Don't know about the detailed plans of Hill Top, Park ... only what is shown on the site. Will be interesting to see what objections will turn up from local residents this time. Not on the agenda for tomorrow's planning meeting.

Main one there is the Lonsdale Street development (ex Spring Hill Club) .. makes heavy reading if you want to look.

Thought that about the search pages myself, but from July ???

They have already started in Lonsdale street, got the floor slabs down, must have had the nod from an officer, it would be good if the planning committee voted "no" that would be a laugh :D

What I do not quite understand is this bit :

(i) That delegated authority is given to the Chief Planning and Transportation Officer or
Development Control Manager to approve planning permission subject to a legal
agreement under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act relating to the
payment of £15,549 for open space improvements in Accrington and Oswaldtwistle

Thats called a bribe, in order for the development to proceed.

Sounds like a fair enough explanation.

This is another explanation Section 106

It is good news for Hyndburn not just Woodnook or Peel wards, it shows that there is money out there............to regenerate these bomb sites that are all round the borough.

Now this is practice from the dark ages

The original bid incidentally for East Accrington was for 9million. Whilst the 2 million is to be welcomed, it's well short of what's needed to address the problems we've got in this part of the town

I hope they do better at new build than the ones they are building on Blackburn road, the "new" houses are nearer to the road than the houses they knocked down, never seen anything like it, what were the planners thinking of. :mad:
