Countryside Partnerships has received approval from Burnley Council to build 73 homes on the former Lodge Mill site. The development will be a mix of houses and apartments and will be located off Barden Lane, beside the Leeds-Liverpool Canal.
Countryside is partnering with Together Housing on the project, which will offer a range of properties, including four one-, 29 two-, 34 three-, and six four-bedroom properties. The development will consist of six detached, 56 semi-detached, and seven terraced houses, along with four flats in a two-storey building. All the properties will be affordable.
Outline permission was granted for the scheme last December, with the 26,304m2 plot that has been vacant since the demolition of Lodge Mill in 2014.
Gemma Hardy, managing director of Countryside Partnerships Merseyside & Cheshire West, said: “Both of our organisations are committed to providing quality, affordable homes across the North West, and Barden Lane builds on our projects already underway in Blackburn and Sandymoor. We’re transforming this area of brownfield land into a quality new place to live and providing genuine opportunities for people living in the area to own a new, affordable home.”
Antony Ward, director of development for Together, added: “Our commitment to developing quality new homes both for shared ownership and affordable rent will provide a vast number of opportunities for people to find a home that suits their needs the most.”
The project team includes Enzygo, Urban Green, AES Sustainability Consultants, ID Geoenvironmental, LK Group, and Shape Consulting Engineers.
