29 affordable homes planned near Great Harwood town centre - and 9 other new applications in East Lancashire
An estate of 29 affordable houses is being planned for grassland close to the centre of Great Harwood.
Highall Developments are seeking permission to develop a 1.65 hectare site north east of Delph Mount, that currently comprises of wer grassland, scrub and trees. The application site lies approximately 300m from the Great Harwood shopping area.
The proposed units are a mixture of two and three-bedroom semi-detached and mews dwellings, which would be 100 per cent affordable - meaning all of them would be offered below market rates for people who can't afford standard housing, encompassing options like social rent, affordable rent, discounted market sales, and shared ownership.
Highall propose that the development’s main vehicular and primary pedestrian access point will be from Delph Mount. Additionally, a new pedestrian access point is proposed to the Eastern, Northern and Western boundaries, to link up with existing public rights of way.
The homes would be build from red-facing stock brick, some accent plots having part ‘Arctic white’ render features to help break up the street scene and provide variety in style. The roofs would be slate grey ‘echo the materials in the surrounding area.’
Highall say the proposed development ‘will not only develop the vacant land but also create an attractive living environment for the new residents for many years to come’.
Representations are being taken. A decision will be made by Hyndburn Borough Council in coming weeks.
