Brothers Street, Blackburn, Lancashire, BB2

Description:
The site is part of the large gardens held with the bungalow, which is to be retained and falls gently down to an extensive frontage to the Leeds Liverpool Canal beyond which there are panoramic views stretching across to Billinge Hill.

It is amidst an established and popular residential area where comprehensive amenities are nearby, including shops, schools and there is easy access into Blackburn centre, five minute walk to Cherry Tree station, ten minute walk to Witton Country Park and five minute drive to motorway intersections.

Planning:
Planning Permission in Principle was obtained from Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council on the 3rd December 2025 (App No. 10/25/1097) for residential development with up to 8 detached houses.

The application was accompanied by an illustrative drawing showing how the site could possibly be laid out.

The Council is unlikely to require any Section 106 contributions or CIL as the scheme is for less than 10 houses and not more than 0.5 hectares.

The Council may seek a contribution towards the provision of Affordable Housing, however, this can be ameliorated by a submission demonstrating the payment of such sums would result in the project being financially unviable.

Tenure:
The land will be sold Freehold and free from Chief Rent.

A narrow strip will be retained along the western boundary.

Services:
It is understood that all mains services are available with main sewer running along the northern boundary close to the edge of the canal.

Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries.

To View:
Strictly by appointment with Peter E Gilkes & Company and with whom all negotiations should be conducted.
