THE OPPORTUNITY: LAND TO THE WEST OF LONGTON ROAD, BURNLEY
Lot 5 is a uniquely positioned land parcel within the Whittlefield with Ightenhill ward — one of Burnley's most sought-after growth locations. The site benefits from direct proximity to the M65 motorway and Manchester Road railway station, delivering outstanding connectivity that will underpin its long-term value regardless of future use.

The surrounding character is predominantly residential, with an established mix of detached homes and local amenities. This context, combined with the site's scale and accessibility, makes it well-suited to a broad range of development uses — residential, commercial, or mixed-use — all subject to planning consent.
________________________________________
REGENERATION HOTSPOT: BURNLEY'S TRANSFORMATION
Burnley is one of the North West's most dynamic regeneration stories. The town has secured £19.9 million from the Government's Levelling Up Fund, channelled into town centre transformation, university expansion, and significant public realm improvements. Burnley is also among 55 towns nationally to benefit from a dedicated £20 million endowment-style fund — providing a sustained, long-term investment pipeline that directly enhances the area's growth trajectory.

Key Finding:
For landowners and developers, this level of committed public investment signals a clear policy direction: Burnley is open for growth.
________________________________________
INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT: £55 MILLION PROGRAMME
The area surrounding Longton Road sits within the catchment of a £55 million infrastructure programme across East Lancashire — one of the most significant regional investment packages in recent years. The programme delivers:
•\tMajor road network upgrades improving regional connectivity
•\tExpanded and improved pedestrian and cycling infrastructure
•\tEnhanced public transport facilities and bus service improvements
•\tRevitalised public spaces designed to attract residents and businesses

These improvements are not aspirational — they are funded, planned, and underway, creating the physical foundation for sustainable, long-term development growth.
________________________________________
STRATEGIC LOCATION: CONNECTIVITY AND GROWTH
Lot 5 sits within exceptional reach of:
•\tBurnley Town Centre — a major retail, employment, and cultural hub
•\tM65 Motorway — direct access to the wider North West motorway network
•\tManchester Road Railway Station — regular services to Manchester and beyond
•\tEast Lancashire Enterprise Corridor — a designated strategic growth zone focused on advanced manufacturing, technology, and innovation

This combination of road, rail, and enterprise zone proximity makes the site highly attractive for a range of development formats, and positions it as a genuine long-term asset in any portfolio.
________________________________________
PLANNING AND POLICY SUPPORT: BURNLEY LOCAL PLAN 2012–2032
Burnley's adopted Local Plan (2012–2032) provides a clear and supportive framework for sustainable development across the borough. The plan actively promotes new housing delivery, employment land, and mixed-use regeneration schemes — with emphasis on brownfield-first and accessible locations. Lot 5 sits comfortably within this policy context, offering a credible pathway for future planning applications and development delivery.

Prospective purchasers are encouraged to review the Burnley Council Planning Portal for current designations and relevant planning history.
________________________________________
SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT: RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL GROWTH
The Whittlefield with Ightenhill ward continues to attract significant residential and commercial investment. Recent planning approvals in the wider area include new housing schemes, student accommodation, and mixed-use developments — all indicators of a neighbourhood in active, positive transition. The site's proximity to established schools, retail amenities, and growing employment hubs further strengthens its credentials as a development proposition.
________________________________________
INVESTMENT NARRATIVE: LONG-TERM VALUE CREATION
Lot 5 represents a rare convergence of factors that sophisticated investors and developers look for:
•\tCommitted regeneration funding — over £75 million in combined public investment
•\tActive infrastructure delivery — not future promises, but funded programmes
•\tSupportive planning policy — clear framework for future development consent
•\tStrategic connectivity — road, rail, and enterprise zone access
•\tGrowing local demand — residential and commercial development activity

Whether your objective is capital appreciation through land holding, or immediate progression through the planning system, this site offers the flexibility and underlying fundamentals to deliver compelling long-term returns.
