New Black Bull Pub A FORMER pub which dates back to the early 1800s is set to be transformed into flats.
Burnley Council’s development control committee voted in favour of the scheme for five new flats at the New Black Bull on Mill Street in Padiham on Thursday night. Brian Sumners of Avalon Planning who are the agents for the application on behalf of Hodgson Property Group spoke about how their clients had already spent money on the building. He said: “We went to survey the site back in the summertime and I can tell you the building was in a very dilapidated state where it has been vacant for coming up to eight years now.
