Planning Applications

Would think one of Asda's own Dave; maybe they think the one you talk about might come under compulsory purchase order at some time and they have spied an opportunity.

Well, let's see if buying petrol there will tempt us to slap the right pocket on our jeans, eh ? :D

Just completely ignore this last rambling of mine, didn't read Dave's proper .. thought he was talking about a petrol station .. time I went to bed methinks ..LOL.

Well, this contract just been issued .. let's see what they come up with eh ?
 
This term's submissions include:-

Change of use of the former Great Harwood Job Centre to *Police Station*

2 takeaways on Union Road, Ossie, one on Blackburn Road, Accy .. gonna' look more like Rusholme every day.

32 houses plus 6 bungalows on the Great Harwood Footbal site and ex Monroes night club.

Change of use from a window/door manufacturers on Cedar Street to Adult Learning Centre for Adults with learning difficulties .. that will be good.

Westwood Garage, Rishton .. change to retail ... aaaw loved looking at those cars in that showroom. Wonder what type of corner shop this will be ?
 
See Kevin Horkin has applied to change premises 6, Church Street from retail to winebar ! well, that's a change of direction.

Think would be lovely to have a wine bar with more of a continental feel, that sold beverages, snacks too during the day and with a raised/floral decorated type patio to sit out on in the summer .. hope you know the type, have nothing like this in Accy.
 
Tesco put in their application for a new store in Great Harwood now. As discussed before, bet yer last penny they will get it, even though 'need' is always the first criteria, and to me there is not a need here. They are bullies though and sure the council will succumb.

Lots of schools seem to be applying for improvements:-

Acc. and Rossendale College: Lounge/Games Room.

Green Haworth Primary : Extension for Library/IT suite.

Mount Pleasant, C-L-M : Pram storage for proposed childrens centre.

St Johns, Gt. Harwood: Erection of single storey extension for staff room and enlargement of class room.

St Bartholomews, Gt. Harwood: Erection of 2 - storey extension.

Gt. Harwood Primary: Demolition of garage and erection of children's centre.

All good stuff, eh !!

Outline planning permission for Residential Development, Land at West End Works, Norman Street, Ossie.

Finally, the erection of the 2-storey dental education centre, Health Centre Church ... eeew .. maybe, for the ones having problems getting on the NHS dental list, perhaps they may need volunteers to practice on ... :D
 
Two things made me chuckle this time:-

Application for a Botox clinic over dental surgery in Abbey Street.

Reminded me of the TV series 'The Chase' if you have been watching it .. I love it.. Vet downstairs, beauty clinic upstairs. Suppose if they are doing collogen injections too will help frame the new teeth you may have acquired at the dentist !

Conversion of a barn to holiday home on Dean Lane, Great Harwood.

Holiday home in Great Harwood ! Eeew hek, will we be getting an invasion from the South ?

Sounds like they are now looking to knock down the Spring Hill club and build new houses there extending down Lonsdale Street and Pickup Street.
 
Not that I'm suspicious like, but HBC have not yet put up any recent Planning Applications. Last ones were dated to end 7/9/07 .. they run in 11 day terms and nowt since then ?

Wonder if there is summat they don't wish us to know about ?
 
I'd missed the one about the botox clinic and all these holiday homes. Are we suddenly becoming a tourist attraction?
 
Well, next lot up ... nothing profound.

Someone is wanting to build a buggy racing track, military games and clay pigeon shooting on the former sewage works in Hermitage Street, Rishton. Think we could consider a meet there then ? :D

Health club in Laund Mill, Great Harwood. :not_ripe:

Application to pull the old Council Yard down in Town Hall Street, Great Harwood for 9 2-bedroomed apartments .. 3 storeys.

Finally, Lindsay, looks like Boots are going to get some new signs outside yer shop, and new panels over the door.

That's odd on both counts;

2) I work full time and ain't seen hide nor hair of Cashy !:confused:

Thanks for that Cashy; I will pass on the praise; that would have been Romana !
As for the takeover; we have new owners as of a couple of months ago: that cutting is old news. I reckon the planning permssion is retrospective.

Thought may be easier to put up the link .. (saves you searching through their new web site) ... for this terms applications .. can judge for yourselves.

Seems more applications for houses: one off Maple Street, Clayton-le Moors .. more congestion up Whalley Road road now .. or straight into Blackburn Road ? .. that wil be interesting.

What was the pub called that was on corner of Hood Street/Maudsley Street then ? Should know, passed it many times when I was little .. just can't remember name ? Anyway, back to dwellings seemingly.
