Description
Online Auction 17th - 18th March 2026
Approximately 3.6 Acre Site – Potential Site For Development (STP)
The property comprises an approximately 3.6-acre site located at Weir, to the north of Bacup, within the Borough of Rossendale, Lancashire. Set along Burnley Road (A671), the site enjoys a strategic yet picturesque position within the Rossendale Valley, offering strong accessibility while being framed by the area’s distinctive landscape and semi-rural character.
The site is currently vacant, presenting a rare opportunity to shape a substantial and cohesive development parcel within an established location. Its scale and configuration offer considerable flexibility, making it well suited to a range of potential future uses, subject to the necessary consents.
Planning
The land has varied planning history, including historic applications for an 80-bedroom dementia care facility and a 61-unit residential scheme (Reference - X/2007/716 Alternative Reference - PLA11825), which was refused consent in 2007 - 2008. While these applications are historic and do not imply planning precedent, they demonstrate the capacity of the site to accommodate well-considered development.
The Ordnance Survey plan is provided for identification purposes only. All boundaries, areas, and measurements are approximate.
