Well i walked past there on my way into town today, and looked at both factorys, looking at the one facing the nursery, theres no way you could fit 98 houses on there, just doesn't seem possible, ive never really taken much notice of them before, didn't realise how big the other factory was, my gran also tells me that during the second world war they made munitions there, and they painted the roof green and brown to depict moorland, as nobody was allowed to have any lights on, and there was no street lights, so not to attract german bombers.
Planning Applications
- Thread starter katex
- Start date
Thought it may be that works, it covers a lot of ground goes through to Chester street, which has pens & garages at the top end. I wonder if the houses will be the affordable type, and will the scheme include yet another block of flats. Think we will have to wait and see on that one.
May go in to Scaitcliffe Towers and have a look at the plans.The sooner HBC updates the website to include attached plans the better, people will then be able to view the applications without the need to go in to the Towers.
just chipping in here because I don't know your local regulations , but in my area where apartment/flats complexs are constructed the local planning department usually requires that there is at least one designated place for each unit and one visitor parking space for every two units , all these parking spots are off street , maybe something that could be incorporated into planning applications , just an idea.
thanks
thanks
HBC also have policy documents relating to new build and car parking provision, but it would seem that they don't always comply with the document, as has happened in the recent past.
I see from the HBC's latest list of planning applications that the old James street working men's club is the subject of a change of use, from WMC to Function rooms.

HBC are still way behind with the list of applications, they must be over worked

That's a strange one.
Basically it was already licenced function rooms.
I only ever went there twice, both times to functions.
Looks like town centre planning is moving a little ... well, I am optimistic anyway :-

When arndale had the clock (attraction for the kids) and you could buy anything you wanted in town, there was no need for an asda, but accy got one anyway, I still say you could walk around the arndale shops as quick as you could walk around asda, and the bill at the end would be cheaper, the walk more interesting, and less stressful.
Seems the flats near Scaitcliffe house are going on sale as from today at prices ranging from £ 89,950 >> £142,950. Three show apartments will be available to view from 10am >4pm. Will be interesting to see what interest they get.
Did you notice the application for the demolition of the existing train station and erection of a new one in the Observer Park ? with various alterations to the car park, wind turnbines, etc. The application no. is 11/8/0217 which was missing from the H.B.C's last list online.
Aye had noticed that in the observer, yes it will be interesting to see if the flats do sell
No I missed that kate, but would think that the application will get approval.
As far as the applications go HBC are still way behind on publishing them

Someone mentioned the other day, that if Tesco got approval for the site in Accrington, they intended bringing in most of their supplies by rail. Not suggesting, this will have anything to do with any decisions like.
Never got a reply to my E-mail re. their late entry of Applications/Decisions.
Surely they'd have to create a rail spur for doing that?? Considerable cost it would be too and there's hardly the room for it if a superstore and car-park are going up - so I would personally say that's a non-starter.
Is the new railway station not an LCC project
Yes, it is, so maybe my suggestion is not justified. Will retract.
Churchman Phil: Was just a remark by someone, gossip I guess. Will bow to your comment of a 'rail spur' .. not knowledgeable ...
Could be big plans afoot for the Arndale centre............another supermarket, and right in the town centre.

I would personally prefer to see a Sainsburys in town rather than a Tesco. Have varying products to Asda so not so much competition (although understand this could be good). Might just invite people to take an interest in the Town flats being built. ... people who work on higher salaries, and are a bit snobby about their supermarket. Trying to be careful how I word this .. but could invite other High Street shops to invest in our town.
What you saying here kate, burnley has a sainsburys

LOL .. ok, point taken, but they do have a better shopping centre !
The big supermarkets are not in serious competiton in my opinion, they have limits on price reductions, and rarely cut the same prices as each other, it looks to me like they have an 'understanding', how else could they compete properly and still make huge profits like they do?
