Looks that way.

Can you take a look at this, Park, have they completely withdrawn their plans (see decisions) or maybe drawing up new ones do you think due to its proximity to the culvert ? Didn't appear to be any further correspondense after the Surveyor questioned the Environmental Agency on the run of the culvert.

Application No:11/11/0147Registration Date:15 Apr 2011Location:BRIDGE INN 135 HENRY STREET CHURCH ACCRINGTON BB5 4EPDevelopment:PROPOSED FRONT AND REAR SINGLE STOREY EXTENSIONS AND SIDE TWO STOREY EXTENSION TOGETHER WITH BOUNDARY CHANGES

Thanks, Cashy, was looking that way ... so why has the application been withdrawn do you think ?
 
cashman said:
as far as i know, been a change of plan/tactic, due to extra costs incurred.

Yeh, thought that may have been the case as they are too committed to back out of improvements now I suppose, having already started work on it. Shame, particularly as it looks like their Surveyor was correct in the first place re. the culvert.. made interesting reading though.

See Agent's letter and EA's letter, the line of the rear extension still falls within the 8m distance of the culvert, even after correct line of culvert established.

Yes, read them a few times. :) Just a gap between the Surveyor asking the EA to withdraw their objection as access to the culvert was still possible even though some of the building would be within 8 metres ... but looked like extra cost may have been involved by the Bridge Inn ?

Loved the bit re. the trees and the Surveyor pointed out that trees had already been planted over the culvert at some stage .. :eek: I'm easily amused.

Possible new application with layout alterations to keep building line clear of the culvert. Same old problem with the trees, rules change and what is built is not always as per approved plans, once an application is passed the planning have no more involvement it's down to building control.........unless there is a complaint :D
 
It looks like an area around India Street and China Street is going to become Alley Gated.

Case File

I can't see in the planning docs

a) What is the cost?

b) Is this part of the Elevate scheme?

c) If not, why has this site been chosen as against others?

d) If successful, is funding in place to extend the scheme?
 
Thanks, Tealeaf, noticed this in applications for Blackburn and Darwen the other week. Lot of reading in there from other councils' experiences, but interesting nevertheless.

The main statement is :

'Helping to reduce crime, fear of crime and nuisance in Lancashire'

Is this a bad area then for back alley crime ?

The applicant is HBC, but doesn't, obviously, state where funding is coming from. Could well be part of some scheme on crime prevention or summat ?

Wonder how much all that "design" work cost, will the project create a no go area?
 
I too am curious as to why the need in this particular area for Alley gating. Hope this isn't the start of Councils penning areas in so they end up looking like ghettos.

When the workmen erecting these knock off for the day do you think they say "Se ya later allygator!":yelrotflm

As far as I can see, this is a first for Hyndburn, Mike, sure it could be the start of more applications. Problem is, when they alleygate certain backstreets, it just leaves the surrounding ones more vulnerable to crime.

You mean other areas have been fitted with "alley gates" without planning permission. :eek:

Looks that way, would have thought there were enough fitness centres/gyms in Accrington, is there not one at the other end of Hyndburn road

What to do, here are two planning applications for 22 Haslingden Old Road

Search Results

The first application was withdrawn, the second application was passed, a two storey extension to the side of the house. What has been built or is in the process of being built is a single storey detached building, fronted by entrance walls, see the approved drawings. The application was passed in 2009,........I pass the site several times a week, there would seem to be a big difference in the approved drawings and what has been built......I wonder does anyone from the planning department visit this website, if so get the Planning Enforcement Officer to visit 22 Haslingden Old Road and check it out. :hidewall:
