Bank Hey, Blackburn Introduction Public Consultation !"#$"% Development Site #& The land between Heys Lane and Bog Height Road is allocated for housing development in Blackburn with Darwen’s Local Plan Part 2. The site has the potential to be a distinctive and high quality housing development that respects the surrounding landscape character and become a natural extension to Blackburn. Ideas for how the site could be developed have been progressed by the project team through discussions with Blackburn with Darwen Council. We want your views on the initial Masterplan. This exhibition shows how the emerging Masterplan has come together and explains the main opportunities and constraints that have been taken into account. Please take time to look at the exhibition and give us your views. !
