31 homes at Land Off West View Terrace, Padiham, Burnley

“Proposal: Erection of 31 dwellings with associated access and landscaping…”

“Proposal 2.1. The application is being presented to committee as it received more than 3 objections. The application seeks permission for 31no. dwellings and associated works. Access would be taken off Coronation Avenue for 19no. dwellings whilst the other 12no. dwellings would be accessed directly off Thompson Street. The scheme proposes 3no. house types; 9no. 2-bed bungalows, 9no. 2-bed terraces, and 13no. 3-bed properties a mixture of semi-detached and terrace.”

“Site and Surrounding Area 1.1. The application relates to a former nursery which appears to have been demolished between April and October 2009 (Google street view) and adjacent undeveloped green space. The land is located east of West View Terrace and west of Thompson Street. The western and central part of the application site is relatively flat with the eastern part sloping down to Thompson Street.”

“Site History: FUL/2022/0514 – 19 no. new dwellings with new access road off Coronation Avenue and associated landscaping – Withdrawn December 2022.”

“Following further amendment to reintroduce access off West View Terrace and Coronation Avenue County Highways advised that their initial concerns remain over the width of these access roads. County are concerned that the proposals do not meet the parking standards within the Local Plan and parking space should meet technical requirements.”

“Cllr Hosker – Previously it was noted that an objection was raised however following concerns raised about the summary misrepresenting what was submitted the comments were reviewed. A formal objection was not received only an email indicating concerns which might lead to an objection. The concerns raised were in relation to the proposed access and parking arrangements. The comments in question related to the initial submission and were received on the 22 nd December 2023.”

“Consultation August 2024 to November 2024 (29no. dwelling with access off Thompson St.) A total of 13no. responses were received raising objection to the scheme. The matters raised can be summarised as follows: • Area can’t support a further 29no. dwellings. • Traffic will have to use Westview Terrace which can’t cope with additional traffic. • Site supports local wildlife, its loss will be detrimental.”

“Consultation June 2025 (31no. dwelling with access off Coronation Ave. and Thompson St.) A total of 31no. responses were received raising objection to the scheme. The matters raised can be summarised as follows: • Suitability of access from Coronation Avenue. • Additional traffic will affect surrounding roads, will they be able to take additional wear and tear and increase risk to pedestrians on said roads.”

“To enable Burnley Borough Council to seek a definitive response from Lancashire County Council relating to the potential impact on highways safety and/or the residual cumulative impacts on the road network.”
