Rovers had planned to sell the land of their Senior Training Centre for housing
Rovers first announced plans to amalgamate their two training bases at Brockhall in February. Since then, chief executive Steve Waggott, manager Tony Mowbray, supporters, residents and councillors have all had their say on the proposals which would have seen the land on which the Senior Training Centre sits, sold for housing development. The current Academy facility within Brockhall Village would then have become the new home for the first-team, as well as the Category One Academy, in an all-in-one facility.. The club have since shelved those plans and will explore all options available to them before outlining their next move.
Questions over housing needs on Blackburn Rovers land earmarked for development
QUESTIONS have been raised over the need for more housing in a rural area after intentions to build a 170-home development were outlined by football club bosses.
Blackburn Rovers have spoken of their plans to integrate their two Brockhall Village-based training centres into a single ‘state of the art’ facility which would bring all players, coaches and facilities together under one roof. Doing so would mean the current site of the Senior Training Centre would be vacated and razed to the ground, making way for a development of 170-homes in the Ribble Valley Borough of Brockhall and Dinckley.
