Homes at ‘pickle works’
Barratt Homes has applied for planning permission to create the new development at the former Peel Fold Mill in Stanhill Road, Ossy. The scheme will see 28 apartments and 31 houses built, some of which will be three storeys high.
The site, which is bounded by the former landfill site at Stanhill Quarry and the green belt at the edge of Oswaldtwistle, is known locally as the pickle factory
i cant think whereabouts thats gonna be

Re: Homes at ‘pickle works’
The planning permission was refused recently - Barratts are having a rethink about the height of some of their plans - 3 storeys was deemed 'not in keeping' with adjacent housing
I know this because my son lives nearby

Re: Homes at ‘pickle works’
Three storeys high would look a bit overpowering there.

Re: Homes at ‘pickle works’
I have found pictures of Barretts 3 storeys from their website - dont know which of the two designs (if either) was refused. They do seem to reuse the same designs wherever they build

Re: Homes at ‘pickle works’
Hang on - isn't there a big derelict factory there at the moment? Surely that's an eyesore in itself, plus it's been set on fire at least once that I know of.
Would you rather that stayed there?
