Briercliffe Nursery Briercliffe Road Burnley Application Recommended for Approval APP/2009/0683 Briercliffe Ward Full Planning Application Proposed single storey extension to side of nursery BRIERCLIFFE NURSERY BRIERCLIFFE ROAD BURNLEY Background: The proposal is for an extension to the existing Day Nursery to provide additional facilities. The site is located within the Harle Syke Conservation Area. Position of proposed extension View from Briercliffe Road The extension would be attached to the existing building by a glazed link. It would sit at right angles to Briercliffe Road and parallel to Moorview Close. The application has been amended to omit the proposed 3 new car parking spaces within the curtilage, following objections from the highway authority. The boundary fencing would remain as it is now, with no off street parking provided. Objections have been received. Summary of Reason for Recommendation: The development is generally in accordance with the Development Plan, in particular the policies listed below, and there are no other material considerations to indicate that planning permission should not be granted: Relevant Policies: Burnley Local Plan Second Review GP1 – Development within the Urban Boundary GP3 – Design and Quality EW4 – Expansion and Improvement of Existing Business E12 – Development in or adjacent to Conservation Areas CF14 - Provision, Retention and Enhancement of Community Facilities TM15 – Car Parking Standards Site History: APP/2003/0090 - Portacabin to provide new baby unit – refused APP/2003/0269 - Proposed Conservatory – granted APP/2007/1095 – New ramp and railings – granted APP/2008/0204 – Two detached dwellings – refused (appeal dismissed) Consultation Responses: 1. Lancashire County Council (Highways) – Expressed concern about the original proposal to provide three parking spaces within the nursery grounds, with access off Moorview Close. They were concerned about the loss of part of the existing parking bay which would potentially lead to displaced parking on the main road. There are no objections to the amended application which omits the off-street parking area and leaves the existing parking bay intact. It is likely that the nursery would mainly serve the local area and there is no evidence to show that the proposal will significantly increase traffic movements around Briercliffe Road and Moorview Close. Public Transport links are excellent to the site, with bus stops directly opposite on both sides of the carriageway. 2. Environmental Health – • recommend that any ground contamination discovered at the site during excavation and construction is required to be notified within 14 days of discovery. The discovered contamination should be remediated before any use of the extension commences – this can be dealt with by planning condition. • Construction site working hours and delivery vehicles shall be restricted to protect the amenities of nearby residents – this can be dealt with by planning condition. 3. Briercliffe Parish Council – do not object in principle to the extension, but are concerned about the potential increase in traffic movement associated with the nursery especially on Briercliffe Road. 4. A petition signed by 34 people (19 nearby properties) has been received objecting on the following grounds: • any increase in vehicular traffic would be detrimental to highway safety. • The footpath is narrow at this point and pedestrians have to step into the highway • The extension would harm the appearance of the area. • The extension would restrict light to adjacent properties and harm the outlook enjoyed by the residents • Parking is already a problem and if the parking bay was lost or reduced it would be worse. ( the plans have been amended to exclude the proposal to reduce the parking bay) Planning and Environmental Considerations: Policy CF14 sets out the criteria for the enhancement of community facilities including that they should, if possible, be located in a centre in an accessible location; mitigate detrimental impacts on road and highway safety; and not have an adverse impact on residential amenity. Policy E12 expects development in Conservation Areas to preserve and enhance the character of the area. The main issues in this case relate to the impact of the proposal on highway safety; residential amenity; the design of the building and its impact on the street scene and the character of the Conservation Area. Highway Safety The extension will provide a new multi-use playroom for the children, allowing facilities for up to a maximum of 15 additional children and employing a maximum of 3 new staff. However, several of these children would be part time. The applicant confirms that there are 73 children on the roll but approximately 54 there at any one time. Of the potential 15 additional children to be accommodated in the extension only 8 are likely to be there at any one time. This represents a 15% increase. The Highway Authority is satisfied that, at this level, the increase in vehicular movements will not be so significant to have an adverse impact on highway or pedestrian safety over and above the existing position. The picking up and dropping off of children will be staggered to some extent and several of the children and staff are likely to come from the local area. The site is well served by public transport. Residential Amenity The nursery is located close to houses on Briercliffe Road and Moorview Close. Activity from the operation of the nursery itself will not be very different from the present situation and will not affect residential amenity. The building is single storey and will not significantly affect outlook from the facing houses on Briercliffe Road. There are windows which are approximately 13 metres from facing habitable room windows on Briercliffe Road. The direct view from these windows would be partially screened by the boundary fence, but it would be appropriate to provide for obscure glazing to prevent any loss of privacy for the houses and this can be dealt with by condition. Design and impact on the character of the Conservation Area. The original building, a former chapel in use as a day nursery for many years, is well maintained but of poor quality materials (corrugated sheeting to walls and roof and tiles to front elevation). The extension built in 2003 is in artificial stone with a tiled hipped roof, an improvement on the existing building but not wholly sympathetic in detailing with the character of the Conservation Area. The design of the new extension has been amended and now seeks to emulate the form and detailing of the original building to bring some coherence to the group of buildings. It would have a gabled pitched roof, with windows reflecting the style of the original building. Elevation to Briercliffe Road Elevation to Moorview Close The design is now acceptable and would be in keeping with the building. The extension would not have an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the Conservation Area. The extension would improve facilities for a valuable local facility, providing additional employment without adversely impacting on highway safety and residential amenity. Recommendation: The planning permission be granted subject to the following conditions: 1. The development must be begun within three years of the date of this decision. 2. Notwithstanding any description of materials in the application, no development shall start until a scheme showing precise details of all materials, including facing and roofing materials, have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The materials used in the development shall be in accordance with the approved scheme, to the satisfaction of the local planning authority. 3. Opaque glass shall be used in the windows of the elevation facing Briercliffe Road. Opaque glass shall be retained in these windows at all times, unless otherwise approved in writing with the Local Planning Authority. 4. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority, development must not start until conditions a) to d) have been complied with. If unexpected contamination is found after development has begun, development must be halted on that part of the site affected by the unexpected contamination to the extent specified by the Local Planning Authority in writing until condition d) has been complied with in relation to that contamination. a) Site Characterisation An investigation and risk assessment, in addition to any assessment provided with the planning application, must be completed in accordance with a scheme to assess the nature and extent of any contamination on the site, whether or not it originates on the site. Details of the contents of the scheme should be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken by competent persons and a written report of the findings must be produced. The written report should be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The report of the findings must include: (i) a survey of the extent, scale and nature of contamination; (ii) an assessment of the potential risks to: • human health, • property (existing or proposed) including buildings, crops, livestock, pets, woodland and service lines and pipes, • adjoining land, • groundwaters and surface waters, • ecological systems, • archeological sites and ancient monuments; (iii) an appraisal of remedial options, and proposal of the preferred option(s). The investigation and risk assessment must be conducted in accordance with DEFRA and the Environment Agency's 'Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination, CLR 11'. b) Submission of Remediation Scheme A detailed remediation scheme to bring the site to a condition suitable for the intended use by removing unacceptable risks to human health, buildings and other property and the natural and historical environment must be prepared and submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme must include all works to be undertaken, proposed remediation objectives and remediation criteria, timetable of works and site management procedures.

    1 99-31 Lancashire Constabulary Pennine Division Community Support Department Sergeant J. Masterman Constable N. Lund Tel 01282 472247 Police Station, Parker Lane, Burnley, Lancs BBI 1 2BT PROBLEM ORIENTED POLICING COMPETITION THE TILLEY AWARD 1999 THE BURNLEY YOUTH SHELTER - A PURPOSE BUILT STREET CORNER ABSTRACT Harle Syke is an area of Burnley, which adjoins the rural parish of Briercliffe. Both areas consist of good class housing and enjoy a village atmosphere. This part of Burnley is about 2 miles away from the town centre and the recreational amenities for young people, which such an area provides. In Briercliffe, children up to the age of 12 have been provided with a play area containing swings, climbing frames etc, however the park is subject to a local bye law which legally excludes older children from entering or using it. There were no facilities available for the older children to use, which resulted in them congregating in places where they caused nuisance and offence to residents. 13 of the young people were arrested on one evening for causing a public nuisance after many complaints were made to the local beat officer over a period of time.. The result of neglecting the 12 to 18 year age groups has been felt not only in Burnley but in many other parts of the country as well. It has been established that 20% of police time is spent in dealngi with repeat nuisance which mainly originate from this older age group. Complaints of anti-social and criminal behaviour abound, such as gathering in large intimidating groups in residential areas, making noise, drinking alcohol, swearing and causing damage.

  • Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’S Cotton Frontier C.1890-1950
    Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’s Cotton Frontier c.1890-1950 By Jack Southern A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of a PhD, at the University of Central Lancashire April 2016 1 i University of Central Lancashire STUDENT DECLARATION FORM I declare that whilst being registered as a candidate of the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another aware of the University or other academic or professional institution. I declare that no material contained in this thesis has been used for any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. Signature of Candidate ________________________________________________ Type of Award: Doctor of Philosophy School: Education and Social Sciences ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the evolution of identity and community within north east Lancashire during a period when the area gained regional and national prominence through its involvement in the cotton industry. It examines how the overarching shared culture of the area could evolve under altering economic conditions, and how expressions of identity fluctuated through the cotton industry’s peak and decline. In effect, it explores how local populations could shape and be shaped by the cotton industry. By focusing on a compact area with diverse settlements, this thesis contributes to the wider understanding of what it was to live in an area dominated by a single industry. The complex legacy that the cotton industry’s decline has had is explored through a range of settlement types, from large town to small village.

Background: As a Lead Local Flood Authority, Lancashire County Council has a role in coordinating flood risk activities and ensuring the free flow of communication and collaborative works. In order to help achieve this, Lancashire County Council and relevant risk management authorities meet regularly to discuss local flooding issues and to identify opportunities for managing future flood risks. This has worked very well up to now and has allowed risk management authorities to work closely together to tackle often complex and challenging situations. However following the significant flooding that hit Lancashire in December 2015, it became evident that improvements could be made to the way in which these messages get communicated to affected communities. As such, Lancashire County Council has now developed a series of district level reports which aim to provide affected communities with information about what relevant risk management authorities are doing in their areas to help manage the risk of flooding from a variety of sources.

  • Briercliffe Parish Council
    BRIERCLIFFE PARISH COUNCIL. Cllr Roger Barstow Frost MBE., MA., FRSA., 33, Cross Street, Briercliffe. Burnley, BB10 2HT. 14th October, 2018. Burnley Planning Office, Council Offices, Parker Lane, Burnley, Lancashire. Dear Sir or Madam, Reference: Planning Application with reference to Walshaw Mill, Talbot Street, Harle Syke, Briercliffe. I have been asked to write to you about this application. The Parish Council will not meet until tomorrow, the date when objections/observations have to be with yourselves, so we have decided to contact you with our views about the application in advance of the meeting. First, the mill was not built in 1913, as is indicated in the Report, but in 1905. The building has a number of features that might be retained and there are more recent additions to the building which are rare in mill buildings in the Burnley area. The features include the exteriors of the engine house and boiler house which might be retained on the site as is the case with the former engine house of Harle Syke Mill at New Taylor Fold on Cobden Street in Harle Syke. Buildings associated with Burnley’s former staple industry are disappearing with increasing regularly. The retention of some features of the building within the developed site would be a good thing on heritage and historical grounds. The more recent additions included a refectory/dining room for the workers at the mill. This is a rare feature of a large cotton mill in the Burnley area. Another point, I don’t think mentioned in the Report, is that the mill is adjacent to the site of Coalpit House, a property which was a small farm/croft which took its name from early coal mining activities in the area.
