Application in for 30 affordable homes in Rishton
The Alderley Group has lodged an application with Hyndburn Council for permission to build affordable properties on a brownfield site.
Together Housing, a large Northern housing association, will be responsible for managing the 30 homes.
Agent Euan Kellie Property Solutions applied on behalf of The Alderley Group, while BTP Architects has been charged with the design.
Previously occupied by the Albert Mill, the almost two-acre site is currently empty.
The housing mix consists of 16 two-bed homes and 14 three-bed homes – each home is intended to house four people.
All the homes will be affordable rent, which will reflect the town’s housing needs.
Each property will stand at two storeys, with 60 car parking spaces provided to the development.
The project team includes TBA Landscape Architects, Acies, Elite Ecology, Hann Tucker Associates, Crown Tree Consultancy, Novo, GEO, and E3P.
To view this application, use the reference PP-13260502 on Hyndburn Council’s planning portal.
The problem with Accrington and its surrounding towns is that they are building all these houses, the government is bashing these housing targets on us, yet Accrington Victoria hospital has just announced its closure, the towns police station is just a desk in a shop while Rishton and the towns around it have no presence. Huge employers like Studio have intending on leaving and jobs are for those willing to commute. All towns in the area except maybe Great Harwood have little to no shops with just people loitering and open criminality. Lets not forget the soulless new builds with no British traditionalism or character that will probably last 50 years.

The Accrington Victoria is closing due to the dangerous state of the building. The services inc the MIU are being relocated within the town. Some of these will be in the Accrington Pals PCC.

God these are ugly. Do no developers ever give a damn about aesthetics? This is a perfect example of why people don’t want development near them; who wants to look at this?! Waking up here would be depressing.

It’s a very valid point James!
There is now the requirement in LURA 2023 for mandatory design codes though so that should iron out the worst of this sort of thing.
