The former Junction Hotel in Burnley THE representative of a developer stressed its commitment to a suburban area as councillors approved its proposals to build a one-bedroomed cottage onto a former suburban pub. ALB Properties want to add the extension to the one-time Junction Hotel in Rosegrove Lane, Burnley, which the firm had previously converted into four homes. The new cottage in the yard of the 19th Century former pub, which closed four years ago, was approved by Burnley Council s Development Control Committee on Thursday. The scheme, which had been reduced down in size from an original three bedrooms, generated a total of 13 letters of objection concerned with parking, road safety, use of a back alley, noise and loss of light.
It will be constructed on a hummocky piece of land off Westway not far from Burnley Barracks. The quarter of an acre site has already been cleared of dense vegetation and trees. The planning application from Car Park (Burnley) Ltd of Trafalgar Mill Business Centre was approved by councillors on Thursday night. Their application for redeveloping the land was considered by Burnley Council s Development Control Committee because of objections from a nearby resident and the leader of the borough s Green Party Cllr Andy Fewings. A report by planning officers said: The proposal is to form a car park on a small hummocky piece of land between Westway, Wilfield Street and Old Accrington Road.

The former Junction Hotel in Burnley NEIGHBOURS have objected to proposals to build a one-bedroomed cottage onto a former suburban pub. ALB Properties want to add the extension to the one-time Junction Hotel in Rosegrove Lane, Burnley, which has already been turned into four homes. The new cottage would be in the yard of the former pub which has been closed for four years. The scheme, which has been revised down in size during discussions between the applicant and planning officers, generated a total of 13 letters of objection from two consultations with neighbours. They were concerned with parking, road safety, use of a back alley, noise and disturbance during the construction of the cottage, and loss of light.
