More residents join battle to stop council s Blackburn school pitch sale

The Rannoch Drive protestors with Stephanie Robinson holding the petition in the centre A NEW group of residents has joined protests against the potential sale of a former school all-weather pitch to a developer. Already householders on Old Gates Drive are opposing disposal of the rare piece of open space in Blackburn. The land sale, part of a proposal for 29 new homes at Lomond Gardens by McDermott Homes, had to be halted by Blackburn with Darwen Council last year because of their opposition. Now residents of the Rannoch Drive estate have joined the battle to prevent any sale of the pitch, used by St Bede’s Roman Catholic High School until 1997, for a new access road to the development.

95 homes to be built in green belt Darwen moorland

Blackburn with Darwen Council’s Planning Committee approved the scheme on Waterside Park in Eccleshill. The project, proposed by furniture firm GFW Ltd, will involve the demolition of their current distribution centre and the nearby Lower Grimshaw Farm while the company will relocate its operations. The councillors attached 30 conditions including protecting the rare species and mature trees at the site. The proposal had generated 26 letters of objection concerned about wildlife, road safety, the retention of a footpath, and the impact of new homes on the West Pennine Moors countryside. West Pennine ward’s Cllr Julie Slater said: “The environmental issues have been addressed however there are concerns about the highways and the number of houses coming to the junction at Roman Road.”

Community asset status won t save land in Darwen from developers, as fight to protect Bailey s Field wages on

The fight to protect a piece of land from being bulldozed for new housing continued this week after residents created a Community Interest Company, and took their concerns to a town council meeting. On Tuesday night, people living in Darwen attended the virtual Darwen Town Council meeting, with Darrener Mark Radnedge speaking on behalf of the newly formed not-for-profit CIC, set up to protect Bailey s Field off Ellison Fold Way, which has been earmarked for a 343 residential housing estate. Bailey s Field in Darwen Mr Radnedge asked the council, particularly those who also sit on Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council s planning committee, for the chance to raise funds to purchase the land, which they have also nominated as an asset of community value (ACV).
