Site Approximately 2.01 Acres – Previous Historic Consent For Residential Development

Potential development site extending to approximately 2.01 acres, previously occupied as a nursery and factory.
The site is held under three freehold titles.

Planning
Historically the site benefitted from planning consent in 2003 from Pendle Council, ref:13/03/0116P for 34 dwellings (6 x detached, 12 x semi-detached and 16 townhouses). We believe this consent lapsed.
Subsequently an application ref 13/07/0631P for 18 x houses and 52 x apartments was refused in October 2007.

The site is accessed off Richard Street and is predominantly surrounded by residential housing.
