Plans submitted for up to 50 new homes in Loveclough
Plans for up to 50 new homes, including 10 affordable units, have been submitted for land in Loveclough, Rossendale.Summary
An outline application for up to 50 new homes on land off Burnley Road in Loveclough, Rossendale, has been submitted by C49 Architecture Ltd. The proposal includes associated public open space, landscaping and development works, with about 10 homes designated as affordable. The design and access statement highlights the site's sustainable, accessible location on the edge of the existing settlement, its frontage to Burnley Road, and its proximity to residential development, community facilities, public transport and the strategic road network. Developers note existing vegetation, ecological corridors and a watercourse that offer opportunities for biodiversity enhancement and green infrastructure. A mix of detached, semi‑detached and terraced houses is proposed. While the project promises economic, social and environmental benefits, it has attracted 25 public objections over concerns about wildlife, increased traffic and oversubscribed local schools, doctors and dentists.
