In particular, it has informed the overall direction of approach to development within the borough set out in the Core Strategy1, and is expected to assist the formulation of detailed policies in subsequent Development Plan Documents (DPDs). 1.1.2 The preparation of this document has been informed by the Preferred Options Core Strategy and its associated public consultation carried out during 2007, and detailed consultation discussions with infrastructure providers and deliverers during 2008. 1.1.3 This document contains: • a summary of the Core Strategy’s main development priorities and a comprehensive overview of the current infrastructure provision within Blackburn with Darwen borough (Part 1); • the Targeted Growth Strategy and consideration of the needs and opportunities identified to meet the proposals within the Core Strategy (Part 2); and • the Core Strategy policy delivery tables highlighting how each Policy will be implemented and monitored (Part 3). 1.1.4 The key deliverers and delivery mechanisms are identified in tables throughout the document. 1.1.5 The responses from the consultation carried out in respect of developing the infrastructure delivery plan are summarised in Appendix 1; and the indicative timescale for infrastructure delivery referred to within this document is illustrated in Appendix 2. 1.1.6 For the purposes of this report, infrastructure has been defined as: “The facilities, services, and installations needed for the functioning of a community or society, such as transportation and communication systems, water and power lines, public institutions and services, and living space. This includes elements which make up “physical infrastructure”; “social infrastructure”; and “green infrastructure” in the Borough”. 1 Core Strategy Publication Report, Blackburn with Darwen (2009) 4 CORE STRATEGY INFRASTRUCTURE & DELIVERY PLAN November 2009 Core Strategy Development PART 1 Priorities Core Strategy Physical & Infrastructure Infrastructure Infrastructure for Blackburn with Social Provision Darwen Infrastructure Green Infrastructure Targeted PART 2 Growth Strategy Targeted Inner Urban Growth Areas Strategy Blackburn Blackburn Needs & Town Centre Needs & Darwen Opportunities Opportunities Darwen Town Centre Villages Open Countryside Proposed Green Belt Proposed Employment Site Targeted Growth Strategy Land Supply for Business Development in Higher Value Sectors PART 3 Core Strategy Quantity, Quality & Mix of Housing Delivery & Monitoring Range & Quality of Public Facilities Protecting & Enhancing the Environment Quality of Place CORE STRATEGY INFRASTRUCTURE & DELIVERY Access to Jobs & Services 5 CORE STRATEGY INFRASTRUCTURE & DELIVERY PLAN November 2009 Infrastructure Delivery 1.1.7 PPS122 confirms that the Core Strategy should be supported by evidence of what physical, social and green infrastructure is needed to enable the amount of development proposed for the area, taking account of its type and distribution. 1.1.8 Paragraph 4.9 of PPS12 sets out what the infrastructure planning process should identify, which includes: • infrastructure needs and costs; • phasing of development; • funding sources; and • responsibilities for delivery. 1.1.9 This document establishes a framework to demonstrate the deliverability of the policies set by the Core Strategy by identifying the key infrastructure stakeholders and their programmes and projects which will support the delivery of the Core Strategy’s Overall Spatial Strategy and its 6 Spatial Interventions. Overall Spatial Strategy 1.1.10 The main feature of the Core Strategy’s planning policy priorities is one of “targeted growth”, with the overarching aim of raising economic performance, average wage levels and GVA generation, while minimising or eliminating net environmental impact. Development is directed predominantly to within the urban area, with the focus being on the town centres, and the inner urban areas of the two towns. 1.1.11 The Core Strategy defines the distinctive roles of Blackburn and Darwen towns. Blackburn is identified as having the greater capacity to absorb the new developments needed to meet the target for attracting investment into higher- wage sectors of the economy, by providing land for high quality employment development and housing for higher wage earners; and will be the focus as the larger economic driver and a centre of sub-regional/regional significance. 1.1.12 Darwen will continue to develop its role as a market town, taking advantage of its attractive town in countryside setting, and accommodating some general development – with the aim to further promoting self-sufficiency in employment and retail sectors and enhancing its role for tourism. 1.1.13 The Core Strategy identifies that there may be some need for a limited number of small scale urban extensions to either or both of the towns to accommodate planned growth. 1.1.14 Limited development for meeting local needs and to support the diversification of the rural economy is provided for in the villages of Belmont, Pleasington, Edgworth, Chapeltown, Hoddlesden. 1.1.15 New development outside these villages and in the open countryside will be strictly limited; with only individual opportunities which will help diversify the rural economy or support tourism being supported where they are appropriate in scale. 2 Planning Policy

I have played in the parks and walked the hills. When I was asked to FOREWORD judge the Panopticons competition, how could I refuse? As a designer, I have grown to know that good design can change places and change people’s lives in a positive way. This was the intention behind creating the Panopticons, and I think it’s already starting to work. People are enjoying the quirky originality of the Panopticons and at the same time discovering the beautiful countryside around them. They are taking pride in showing them off to visitors. I see the Panopticons as being a relaunch of the ‘can do’ creativity of this wonderful part of the world. ” Wayne Hemingway 4 Project champion 5 INTRODUCTION I am delighted to introduce this report on the twin partnership programmes Panopticons and Land. This is based on a project evaluation, to inform our funders and all our partners, but it also tells the story of a voyage of discovery for everyone involved in these two brilliant projects. They were interlocking programmes of work that were highly ambitious, challenging at times, and richly rewarding for the many people involved.

  • CHANGE at CHERRY TREE Report1
    Fund ed thanks to: • BwDBC Local Transport Plan 3 • BwD CONNECT Project (Local Sustainable Transport Funding) • Designated Line Community Rail Development Fund • Northern Rail ALL CHANGE AT CHERRY TREE - a Blackburn with Darwen BC and Community Rail Lancashire community art and horticultural project with a musical difference! • All change at Cherry Tree aimed to establish Cherry Tree Station as a gateway to the local community and to the nearby Witton Country Park. • The station is on the Preston to Colne line and is served by an hourly diesel service between Preston and Colne. Th e facilities offered to passengers were very basic, with approaches to the platforms infested with weeds and litter and shelters and running in boards bearing the brunt of regular bouts of vandalism over a number of years. Viewed as a no go area especially in the evenings the station required immediate action to develop a safe and smart local public transport gateway for the local community . • Despite th e extremely poor waiting environment and issues of anti -social behaviour the station has averaged growth of 12% per annum over the last 5 years and Community Rail Lancashire and Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council both recognised the potential for further growth through considerable latent demand given its proximity to the commuter hubs of Preston and Blackburn and the growth of students needing to travel to college s in both towns. A key issue was, therefore, how to deal with the anti -social behaviour at the station and the tired looking environment and its effect on the imag e of the local area and future passenger demand.

For example: ADLINGTON HALL In the early summer John Lambert and his team restored the pale blue ceilings in our Nave aisles– for some of the paintwork (which was originally applied 45 years ago by The stone roof was taken down and cement rendered another panels were removed. New oak timbers were made on company) had site by Lambert Walker joiners, and were carefully fitted begun to flake. to replace old damaged parts of the original frame.

A few years ago John and his fine team had restored the bright golden yellow ceilings in the transepts.
