Wonder how much petromex have made out of the deal ;) Is this the same company Petromex (worth having a look at - supplies all "major" brands) and supermarkets ?

katex, is Whinney Hill a working quarry? I remember it as derelict when I was a boy but I also remember there were hundreds of ready dressed stone flags left there- worth a fortune.
If it pays to import stone from India it must be worth developing Whinney Hill!

It pays to import anything from India these days.
The company Park Royal are working the quarry

Not sure, Gordon ... that's why I was asking if it was being opened up again ?
 
St JAMES CHURCH, Cannon Street, ACCRINGTON

NEXT Sat, FEB 4TH, there is to be a "coffee and chat", morning in the church, where plans of work to be carried out are on display.... the doors open at 10.00am.
Could be interesting!

Is this the work in the grounds, Atarah, or inside the building ?

Hi, all I know is that the Church is to be opened and plans can be seen, but, believe its only for external work. You gonna go?

If it had been the plans for the internal work I might have gone for a look, as its for the external plans and I already have copies of them so I doubt I will go.

Are you going? The plans look good and being the only green area in town I hope the project is successful.

Could someone please confirm if this will be Accy's first onion:

This is going to be three floors high, so it will be clearly visible from Hyndburn road - the main gateway into town. It will, of course be topped by the planned one opposite ASDA if that does go ahead.
 
140 Whalley Road, Accrington.

I am truly AMAZED as to why this lovely looking property was given Planning Permission to be DEMOLISHED. Anyone know why?
Case File

In particular read the bit that says 19th Oct BACKGROUND PAPERS, this shows a photograph of the house that was once there.

I was initially confused as your post states 140 Whalley Road but the planning application is for 270 Whalley Road. Looks as though the house has been empty and dilapidated for some time. There may be structural problems, dry rot etc. and the building is not listed so there are no restraints on its being demolished.

Presumably the applicant prefers a modern house with four ensuites and an additional bathroom downstairs.
 
I would just have thought anyone wanting "a modern house with 4 ensuites and an additional bathroom downstairs would have bought such a property" without all the upheaval of demolishing and re-building.

Depends what area they want to live in and how much it cost to buy the site and demolish/rebuild. Also by doing this they would have more say in the individual design. Each to his own.
