It is good news but what about the likes of Rhyddings Park and other parks in Hyndburn that are in very poor condition.
Here's one to make you think
Taken from the planning applications listed for the April meeting of the Planning Committee.
Featured in the 1996 HBC plan as Employment site "U".
But look they want to build shops, restaurants/cafes and a gym, and provide emplyment for 2500-3000 people.
Details can be viewed in full at Planning Committee - Planning Applications (download the Word document to view)
The application 11/03/0608 is a 2003 application, plus there is no indication of who the Developer is...........could it be another Barnfield/HBC development, we will have to see. No doubt it will hit the local Headlines at some point.
Wonder what BwD will have to say about that.
One access to the site will be from the newly traffic light controlled roundabout at Whitebirk

It could just work ya' now Park .. in fact, sure it would... not just a pipe dream.
Cannot see anything particularly interesting this month, can you ?
'Cept Mr V. Whitehead to build two new houses on Badge Brow .. needs to sort out his other properties first methinks !

I think it will work, the planning committee would look a little silly if they turned it down, employment for 2500-3000 people. I know it's close to the BwD border but is a great boost for Hyndburn.
No there is not much of interest this month, but HBC are well out of date with posting the applications on the website, only up to 7/3/08.
How about this one, been a topic previous
Controversial church flats plan gets OK - News - Accrington Observer
Looking through the pages of today's LET I find on page 27 headed "commercialproperty"
A For Sale notice
Cannon Street Baptist Church, Accrington
A late 19th Century former church with planning consent for 16 apartments.
Also
For Sale
Oswald House, Rhyddings Street, Oswaldtwistle.
An extended late 19th Century building with planning consent for 24 apartments
Both adverts are under the same Agent.
That is just a good way to make money without all the hassle of doing the actual conversion works.

Gosh 98 houses on Exchange Street ? Didn't think enough room, will have to take a look.
Wondered why their website hasn't been updated yet either Rob .. still nothing since 7/3/08. Also decisions postings lagging methinks. Gonna' E-mail them.
Re: Cannon Street/Oswald Street .. yes, clever tactic hey Park .. got to find a buyer now... perhaps Tesco will buy Cannon Street for their Executives ...
If i'm right in thinkin it has to be the factory that borders exchange street, fairfield street, as like you say katex, there wouldn't be enough room anywhere else.Just wonder if the residents there will put a fight up like at stanhill, personally speakin, i think it wld be gd move, its a derelict factory, and wld probably just be left to rot as we have seen with other buildings in hyndburn, ie, palladium, old firestation, no doubt someone will kick a fuss up tho!.
Are the houses between Exchange st and Spring Hill road not part of a clearance area as well ??
Had noticed that as well, but we are talking about HBC here anything is possible
Aye it's a very clever move, I wonder if HBC and the Planning Committee were aware of that move when they passed the plansRe: Cannon Street/Oswald Street .. yes, clever tactic hey Park .. got to find a buyer now... perhaps Tesco will buy Cannon Street for their Executives ...
What was that quote from one of our Councillors......Flats, flats, and more flats.
So each house is going to equate to half a shop, where's the block of flats going
What about car parking, mind the new residents will be able to walk to the £ shops in the centre
The application is now shown on HBC's website, but it does not identify which of the two works it is. It just states " a manufacturing works" has anyone any idea are both works still operational.

On the subject of Flats/Apartments, it would seem from the article in the LET that the experts feel that to many flats/apartments have been built, and that they will not sell. Investers wo have bought to let, are not able to let, and not able to sell.
Looking at the lastest planning applications on the BwD website it looks very much like the developers have thought about it, so the applications now are for affordable housing.............have the developers seen the light at last?

Was just going to say Mez .. I took a look as I drove up to your house the other day for tea (thank you very much that pork and apple meat loaf was brilliant ..
). Couldn't see much for the trees, but I got the impression the bottom works were still open ? Didn't go right to the top as had to turn into your house.. so go out and have a look ... LOL.I thought the flats would sell quite well Park, but obviously not then ?
Did E-Mail HBC enquiring why delay on Planning Applications/Decisions late. Just got one back to say, had been passed to this department, but so far no explanation from them. I now expect, however, to get a reply just to say they are now up .. await with interest. Only up to the 21/3/08 though. Used to do them every 11 days.
Are you meaning the one on the left going up exchange street, facing the old Spring Hill Infant school.
I did see low loaders going in and out of that building several weeks ago, could have been moving all the machinery out.
It would have been better if the application had identified the site. It means you would need to visit Scaitcliffe Towers to view te application and attached drawings.
At the end of the day if it is right accross from you, its got to be better looking out at new houses than an old factory.
I was only going off what was published in the LET, but the estate agents do know what is selling and what will not sell.
Margo in the news again
Work Continues On Blackburn Flats Despite Credit Crunch (from Lancashire Telegraph)
The traffic is busy there now, what will it be like with 100 ish cars going to work in the morning?
It's busy there now with the delivery lorries and workers cars arriving, so what's the difference
If you read the planning application for the site, you will see it mentions "associated roads" I assume that would be to improve access to and from the site.
We don't know if it is that works, it may well be the old Lang Bridges site, then there will be problems on Fairfield street because that building is directly opposite Fairfield Nursery, but also fronts Exchange street.
The planning application just indicates
Land currently occupied by a manufacturing works Exchange street.
