Housing Developer Breakfast
Bankhouse Road, Nelson Pendle is made up of a string of small towns and historic rural villages along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal corridor, set within spectacular countryside, offering its residents access to a wealth of outdoor pursuits and an excellent quality of life. Pendle has a particular uniqueness and sense of place. With its iconic Pendle Hill and stunning landscapes it offers some of the finest views in the North. It is well connected to Preston and Manchester via the M65 and M66, as well as being within 60 minutes drive time to Leeds. Pendle Council is also big on ambition, and working in partnership with the LEP, LCC and the HCA has been creating the right conditions for growth, through investments in M65 junction improvements and new sites for generating employment and housing development opportunities.
Context and Location This cleared brownfield site occupies an edge of town centre location in the Bradley ward of Nelson. It is located in an established residential area of the town, which has had significant investment in the past under the former Housing Market Renewal Initiative. This included investment in the weaver’s cottages and terraced housing bordering the site involving major external face lift improvements. The site is situated adjoining the Pendle Community Hospital and Bradley Nursery and close by is ‘Wavelengths’ (Nelson’s leisure, gym and spa complex) and the other amenities of the town centre. The area also has a primary school; children’s play areas and local shops. The site presents an opportunity for a mixed housing scheme, which brings a new offer to this area of Bradley that meets the needs and aspirations of its residents and which capitalises on its close proximity to the town centre. The site extends to approx. 0.91 hectares (2.25 acres).
The site is located a few hundred metres away from Nelson Town Centre and less than half a mile from junction 13 of the M65. The site can be accessed off Leeds Road and Bankhouse Road. It forms a key entrance to Bradley from the town centre and M65 motorway.
Ownership The site is in the leasehold ownership of Pendle Council, which the exception of one plot which the Council is in negotiation to acquire. There are also some outstanding freehold interests that the Council needs to acquire and proposes to pursue these through a Compulsory Purchase Order.
History and Planning Background The site which has been temporarily landscaped is predominantly flat, with a gentle gradient in the north-west corner.
The site was previously occupied by nine blocks of terraced housing; the majority of the housing has been acquired and cleared by the Council. There is a culverted watercourse that runs across the northern part of the site and part of the site has some flood risk issues. The site is allocated for new housing in the Bradley Area Action Plan (part of the Pendle Local Plan). The Plan sets out the need for new housing which helps to diversify the existing housing stock and which achieves a better, more balanced mix of dwellings within the area.
Site Capacity The site offers a housing development opportunity to build circa 30 houses. A scheme which diversifies the existing housing stock and provides a more balanced mix of dwellings through different types and sizes of dwellings is sought. The Council also considers the site to be suitable for supported housing, such as Extra Care.

Context and Location
Ownership
Site Capacity
This greenfield site occupies an elevated position on the south eastern fringe of Nelson and offers the opportunity for a significant new residential development within a countryside setting. Given its position on the edge of the Pennine uplands, it offers far reaching panoramic views out, with impressive views of Pendle Hill.
The site is in the freehold ownership of Pendle Borough Council.
The site offers a significant housing development opportunity for a mixture of housing types of up to 200 dwellings within a countryside setting. It also provides the developer with an opportunity to capitalise on its countryside characteristics to create a distinct and sustainable new housing offer. The site is accessible from Marsden Hall Road South, via a proposed new extended link road. An indicative masterplan has been prepared for the site. It indicates that approx. 7 ha of the site is developable for housing; whilst the undevelopable land, such as the wooded valley offers the potential for green infrastructure improvements.
It adjoins a popular suburban housing estate of Hartley Drive/ Pinewood Drive built some 10-15 years ago, as well as open countryside and the naturalised valley of Clough Head Beck. The site extends to 10.26 Hectares (25.3 acres) and is shown edged red on the plan. The site is located some 0.8 miles from Nelson Town Centre. It is well served by the existing road network, being located close to a major route into the town centre. Junction 13 of the M65 is approximately 1.1 miles away, providing direct connections to Burnley, Blackburn and Preston to the west.
History and Planning Background The majority of this undulating site is currently used for agricultural grazing. A key characteristic of the site is the naturalised and wooded valley of Clough Head Beck which runs along its western and south western boundary. An established allotment area is present to the west of the site. There has been some past mining activity and a former land fill tip occupied a small part of the site. The site is located within the settlement boundary of Nelson in the Replacement Pendle Local Plan (adopted 2006) and part of the site is allocated as HMR Reserved Housing Land, part is unallocated and part is open space. It is included in Pendle’s Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment, and based on an anticipated phased development for the site is included within a 0- 5 year and 6-10 year housing supply.

Halifax Road, Nelson Pendle is made up of a string of small towns and historic rural villages along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal corridor, set within spectacular countryside, offering its residents access to a wealth of outdoor pursuits and an excellent quality of life. Pendle has a particular uniqueness and sense of place. With its iconic Pendle Hill and stunning landscapes it offers some of the finest views in the North. It is well connected to Preston and Manchester via the M65 and M66, respectively, as well as being within 60 minutes drive time to Leeds. Pendle Council is also big on ambition, and working in partnership with the LEP, LCC and the HCA has been creating the right conditions for growth, through investments in M65 junction improvements and new sites for generating employment and housing development opportunities.
Context and Location
History and Planning Background
Site Capacity
The site is located in an established and popular residential area on the southern edge of Nelson and the western side of Brierfield. Access to Junction 12 of the M65 is 1.3miles to the east, and the two local railway stations of Nelson and Brierfield are both approximately 1 mile away.
Part of the site was previously used as a garden centre. The site is currently occupied as grazing land.
The site offers the potential to deliver a significant housing development of circa.200 units. It offers the opportunity for a mix of types, including semi-detached and detached family housing.
The site extends to 8.6 Hectares (21.34 acres) and is shown edged red on the plan. It benefits from an elevated position and offers a great outlook over the surrounding countryside and across to Pendle Hill. Both Halifax Road to the north and Kings Causeway to the south are popular and sought after residential locations. To the south of the site is Nelson Golf Club and to the east there are a number of allotment gardens.
Ownership The site is wholly owned by Lancashire County Council and Pendle Borough Council.
The site is currently allocated as a Site of Settlement Character in the Replacement Pendle Local Plan (Policy 12) (adopted 2006). However, the level of consistency / conformity of this policy with the NPPF and the Pendle Local Plan Part 1: Core Strategy means that there is potential for the site to come forward for development. Indeed other sites within the borough with this designation have recently been granted permission for housing development. The site is included in Pendle’s Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment within the 5 year housing supply. Policy LIV 1 of the Pendle Local Plan Part 1 supports housing development on non-allocated sites within a Settlement Boundary where they are sustainable, make a positive contribution to the five year supply of housing land and accord with other policies of the Core Strategy.

Wickworth Street, Nelson Pendle is made up of a string of small towns and historic rural villages along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal corridor, set within spectacular countryside, offering its residents access to a wealth of outdoor pursuits and an excellent quality of life. Pendle has a particular uniqueness and sense of place. With its iconic Pendle Hill and stunning landscapes it offers some of the finest views in the North. It is well connected to Preston and Manchester via the M65 and M66, respectively, as well as being within 60minutes drive time to Leeds. Pendle Council is also big on ambition, and working in partnership with the LEP, LCC and the HCA has been creating the right conditions for growth, through investments in M65 junction improvements and new sites for generating employment and housing development opportunities.
Context and Location
Ownership
Site Capacity
This vacant site occupies an elevated position on the south eastern fringe of Nelson and offers the opportunity for a new residential development. It offers far reaching views out across the town to open countryside and Pendle Hill. It borders the popular suburban housing estate of Priory Chase built some 15 years ago, as well as a number of established allotments along its north western and south western boundaries. The site is bounded by an un-adopted lane to the east and beyond that lies the naturalised and wooded valley of Clough Head Beck.
The site is in private ownership by Linkhaven Ltd.
The site offers a significant housing development opportunity of circa 100 houses. It offers an opportunity for a mixed semi detached and detached housing scheme. Previous planning consent was for a mixture of housing and made provision for some new open space on the site. The proposed access to the site is from Priory Chase, which is accessed via Clough Road from Barkerhouse Road.
The site extends to 2.8 hectares (6.9 acres) and is shown edged red on the plan. The site is located some 0.8 miles from Nelson Town Centre. It is well served by the existing road network, being located close to the major route of Barkerhouse Road which links to the town centre, as well as the outlying countryside above Nelson. Junction 13 of the M65 is approximately 1.1 miles away, providing direct connections to Burnley, Blackburn and Preston to the west.
History and Planning Background The site is vacant sloping open grassland and has been vacant since 2009. It was formerly occupied by a Sports Club (known as the James Nelson Sports Club) which comprised a building (demolished in 2008) and various outdoor cricket and football pitches. Planning consent was granted on appeal with conditions in 2012 for a development of 106 houses (Ref No.13/11/0619P). The proposed scheme comprised semi-detached and detached homes with garages and gardens. The consent has now expired. The site is located within the settlement boundary of Nelson and part of the site is allocated as HMR Reserved Housing Land in the Replacement Pendle Local Plan (adopted 2006). It is included in Pendle’s Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment, as a site to meet the 0- 5 year housing supply.

Former Barnsay Shed, Barnoldswick Pendle is made up of a string of small towns and historic rural villages along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal corridor, set within spectacular countryside, offering its residents access to a wealth of outdoor pursuits and an excellent quality of life. Pendle has a particular uniqueness and sense of place. With its iconic Pendle Hill and stunning landscapes it offers some of the finest views in the North. It is well connected to the city regions of Preston and Manchester via the M65 and M66, respectively, as well as being within 60 minutes drive time to Leeds. Pendle Council is also big on ambition, and working in partnership with the LEP and the HCA has been creating the right conditions for growth, through investments in M65 junction improvements and new sites for generating employment and housing development opportunities.
Context and Location
Ownership
Site Capacity
The site occupies an edge of town position in the small town of Barnoldswick, which borders with North Yorkshire. The site occupies a waterfront position, with the Leeds and Liverpool canal forming its eastern boundary; open fields lie to the south and east of the site.
The site is privately owned.
The site offers the potential to deliver a significant housing development of circa.148 units. It offers the opportunity for a mix of types of housing through different types and sizes of dwellings to meet the demand for a better, more balanced mix of dwellings within the town.
The site is bounded to the north by a residential development comprising 1960’s housing. Situated on the opposite bank of the canal is a number of industrial units, including the Silentnight factory (a major bed manufacturing company). The site occupies an area of approximately 5.07 hectares and is shown edged red on the attached plan. The site is located some 0.4 miles from Barnoldswick Town Centre. It is located some 600m from Skipton Road ( B6252), which provides a direct link to Skipton ( some 8 miles way), as well as being well connected to other towns in the western part of the borough.
History and Planning Background Part of the site was previously used as industry and was the former site of Barnsay Mill. This part of the site is overgrown. The remaining part of the site is grassland. Outline planning consent was granted in 2016 for a residential development of up to 148 dwellings with access from Long Ing Lane. Vehicular access would be taken from two existing access points from the lane. The site falls partially within the Barnoldswick Settlement Boundary and partly within Open Countryside as defined by Pendle’s Replacement Local Plan. With the granting of planning permission, the site contributes towards the delivery of the Council’s five – year supply.
