Planning Applications

I think this post is in the correct thread since the article is about housing market renewal/regeneration

Here we have another example of jobs for the boys, a "basic" salary of £140,000. for the new boss of the 'Super council'

East Lancs 'super council' chief named (From Lancashire Telegraph)


Looks like we are to have a Pennine Lancashire council/committee made up of representatives from six borough councils as well as lancashire county council..................yet more expenses for the lucky ones :rolleyes:

This they may have been better on a new thread ... our members love knocking people earning more than they think they deserve ... :D

Don't you like wind turbines .. I think they are bootiful !
May have been some sort of condition to allow it to go through?

Thought the application had only just gone in, and not been before the committee yet.
As for not liking wind turbines, I do not think they are the answer to the problem.
Like those on scout moor, crown point and now hapton, they don't run when the wind blows.
Funny though, how authorities view applications in a different way.
Son has just related a story in the Planning magazine with regard to Biomass power (yeh, know where they use rotting fruit, etc, and produces methane gas to power turbines).

Think residents living near to whinney hill could tell you a thing or two about methane gas.
They do have 2/3 CHP units burning methane and producing electricity up there, so not all the gas is escaping :)

Cardiff had an application for one on their docks, but was turned down as thought it was too near populated areas .. like wouldn't be pleasant for residents to have wagons rolling up with this 'fuel'.

Not all biomass boilers burn "rotting fruit" some burn woodchip and or wood pellets, in fact I think Lancashire county council may have installed some in their schools

Remeha Commercial Site UK: Biomass Range : Biomass Range

Remeha Commercial Site UK: News details[tt_news]=45&tx_ttnews[backPid]=338&cHash=ba2499666e

Even though the wood is from a sustainable source the woodchips, pellets have got to be manufactured ?

I don't know what the answer is but I don't think wind farms are the answer

The installation of the CHP units at whinney hill is a step in the right direction, since the tip is a good source of methane gas and will be for several years.

You may well be correct there kate, but it is about the regeneration of housing stock in Hyndburn.

On the regeneration of housing stock, have you travelled in to Blackburn in the past week or so, and seen the refurishment of houses on both sides of Accington/Blackburn road from the junction with Audley Range right along to the Burnley Road junction. Don't they look well, much better than the road in to Accrington from Church traffic lights.
 
Believe Biomass is very popular in Mexico .. OK .. just thought I would add that useless info. :)

Haven't been down there for a couple of months, but will take a look next time. Was too busy negotiating the cars parked opposite each other, and on pavements. Now, that did remind me of Blackburn Road.

No problem, it's not useless info, could be a way forward. LCC used to have a large plant that burnt household waste in the 80's, it was located on Blackamoor road but it was closed down due to the excessive running costs.
May be new ideas, and operating methods could be an alternative to landfill.
 
katex said:
Yeh, guess they will take time for these to get through Park, probably due to local objections.

See that the Owl Hall planning appeal has now been upheld, and can now go ahead for 'Refurbishment of hall and cottage to 2 dwellings, and erection of 3 new dwellings, landscaping and car parking'

Not kept up to date with this one kate, was it an application that the Technical officers recommended acceptance.
 
park381 said:
To answer my own question, yes it would seem that the technical officers recommended acceptance of the application

LOL .. spent quite a time looking for this, found it, then realised you had found it yerself.

Doesn't look like Tesco are going to give up for store at Gt. Harwood, even though was turned down by Secretary of State. Once they get their teeth into something, won't let go ... Rottweiler jaws.

I don't think they will kate. they are a very big and powerful company.
What surprises me is the fact that Asda has not tried to expand to other local areas :confused:

Don't think its their policy Park, Asda seem to build a large store in every main town Accrington, Rawtenstall, Blackburn, Bolton and the like, whereas Tesco seem to go for some smaller outlets in smaller towns like Ossy and Great Harwood

You may be correct in with that line of thought, but I would not call the Asda's in Accrington & Blackburn "large stores" by todays standards both are in need of urgent redevelopment, as does the Tesco in Blackburn, but I think that is on the cards.
 
Must admit, they are getting very good now at keeping the applications up to date for us to see.

This one probably reflects the credit crunch, are being told that more people are taking their chances on gambling :-

Think this may be helpful to the shops past the lights at Clayton, are they thinking of knocking out the parking spaces then?:-

Puzzled by that last one - the houses are built and being lived in

Looks like there was a condition set when building the houses - now they want it removed ie not do the work in condition 5. This could be something to do with access or the type of paving etc.etc
 
Very little going in at present still, only this :-

11/09/0164 Residential Development: 23 No. dwellings Former Lower Antley Reservoir 01/05/2009
and associated works (Phoenix 1C) off Blackburn Road/Oak Bank
Drive Accrington
Keepmoat Homes​


Don't you feel sorry for a resident up Manchester Road, who just can't get permission for his personal swimming pool and gym though ... LOL,​


Refused for the following reason
Reasons for refusal
1 The erection of the proposed extension, because of its height, size, location and
design, would constitute an unneighbourly form of development which would be
overbearing and detrimental to the amenities of the occupiers of the adjoining dwellings,
and therefore be contrary to Policy E10 of the Hyndburn Borough Local Plan.

Blackburn road may look a little better with a few houses adjacent to, instead of the rubbish thats there at the moment :)

Agree with you on the swimming pool kate, he will have to go to the sports centre like the rest of us :D
