No problem, it's not useless info, could be a way forward. LCC used to have a large plant that burnt household waste in the 80's, it was located on Blackamoor road but it was closed down due to the excessive running costs.
May be new ideas, and operating methods could be an alternative to landfill.

Here's one that will be a problem for the planners, and for the residents living in or close to the areas listed

23 potential new East Lancashire waste plant sites named (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Perhaps the incinerators are a way forward, incinerators that have the added bonus of providing district heating schemes, and producing electricity that could run the plant and associated buildings.

Yeh, guess they will take time for these to get through Park, probably due to local objections.

See that the Owl Hall planning appeal has now been upheld, and can now go ahead for 'Refurbishment of hall and cottage to 2 dwellings, and erection of 3 new dwellings, landscaping and car parking'

To answer my own question, yes it would seem that the technical officers recommended acceptance of the application

LOL .. spent quite a time looking for this, found it, then realised you had found it yerself.

Doesn't look like Tesco are going to give up for store at Gt. Harwood, even though was turned down by Secretary of State. Once they get their teeth into something, won't let go ... Rottweiler jaws.

I don't think they will kate. they are a very big and powerful company.
What surprises me is the fact that Asda has not tried to expand to other local areas

Don't think its their policy Park, Asda seem to build a large store in every main town Accrington, Rawtenstall, Blackburn, Bolton and the like, whereas Tesco seem to go for some smaller outlets in smaller towns like Ossy and Great Harwood

You may be correct in with that line of thought, but I would not call the Asda's in Accrington & Blackburn "large stores" by todays standards both are in need of urgent redevelopment, as does the Tesco in Blackburn, but I think that is on the cards.

Must admit, they are getting very good now at keeping the applications up to date for us to see.

Looks like there was a condition set when building the houses - now they want it removed ie not do the work in condition 5. This could be something to do with access or the type of paving etc.etc

Very little going in at present still, only this :-

11/09/0164 Residential Development: 23 No. dwellings Former Lower Antley Reservoir 01/05/2009
and associated works (Phoenix 1C) off Blackburn Road/Oak Bank
Drive Accrington
Keepmoat Homes

Don't you feel sorry for a resident up Manchester Road, who just can't get permission for his personal swimming pool and gym though ... LOL,

Refused for the following reason
Reasons for refusal
1 The erection of the proposed extension, because of its height, size, location and
design, would constitute an unneighbourly form of development which would be
overbearing and detrimental to the amenities of the occupiers of the adjoining dwellings,
and therefore be contrary to Policy E10 of the Hyndburn Borough Local Plan.

Blackburn road may look a little better with a few houses adjacent to, instead of the rubbish thats there at the moment

Agree with you on the swimming pool kate, he will have to go to the sports centre like the rest of us
