Say No To Calico
Proposals have been tabled by Calico to build 60 new homes on the existing un-developed, former Primrose Mill site, behind Queen St Mill right here in Briercliffe.
NONE of the plans show sufficient road links to Burnley/Briercliffe Road, with the existing residents all the area already struggling to park their vehicles outside their homes.
They (Calico's plans) all rely on channeling all traffic along Queen Street, Townley Street & Granville Street, which are all narrow residential streets.
Which raises the following questions -
1 - With all the construction traffic that maybe coming along Queen Street, Townley Street & Granville Street, where are the residents expected to park their vehicles whilst over sized loads - Bulldozers, Excavators, Heavy-Lifting Machinery & Dump Trucks, on the back of lorries are coming to and from the site on a daily basis?
2 -Has there been effective consultation (Traffic, Access routes etc)?
3 - Why doesn't the new development go to a more suitable area of Burnley - such as Duke Bar, Stoops Estate, Daneshouse, Stoneyholme, which would benefit more with the redevelopment, rather then our tight-knit community?
The purpose of this page is to obtain more information for us - the community, and to put pressure on Calico, Burnley Council & Briercliffe Parish Council to look at alternative and more palatable options.
Time is desperately short to stop Calico from putting a major housing development right here in our historical village, behind our world famous historical amenities.
The only way to insist upon debate on this issue is by force of numbers!
We need to individually make representation to Burnley council's planning office and raise awareness to all the residents here in Briercliffe & Harle Syke.
It's over to you and this is entirely a numbers game. The only way to stop this is if enough of us register our disagreement to these plans.
