Katex! Where are you with your Planning Applications? Mr Dawson, can you help?

Just had a phone call from a resident of Baxenden, who lives almost facing Hilltop, which of course is now fenced off, to be demolished.
This property would appear to be either in, or next to, the grounds of Haworth Art Gallery, the "jewel in the crown" of Accrington.

Very sneekily, just a few of the houses across from the site, and a few on Newton Drive, were sent a letter just before Xmas, informing them that a 4 STOREY property for FLATS is to be built. Maybe done because they are loosing around 2 weeks at Xmas time when people have other things on their minds. Apparently anyone wishing to comment has to have a letter in by NEXT MON. Not much time eh? Someone else I have spoken to also believes this is actually in the Christ Church Conservations area, but am not sure on this point.

Anyone know anything about this?
