This could be quite something if approved
Decaying industrial buildings near a town centre could be redeveloped for 14 ‘contemporary townhouses’.
A supporting statement submitted to Hyndburn Council planners says: “The applicant has an interest in land at Union Works and Union Garage, Accrington. He is keen to demolish the under-utilised, unsightly previously-developed industrial buildings and erect 14 residential units.READ MORE: “It is clear that the council are keen to see the site recycled and developed for housing. The dwellings will be constructed using insulated concrete formwork, for high standards of airtightness and insulation.
“The overall design is intended to complement the general traditional character of the area by designing houses fitting within the 21st century. The development would enhance the appearance from the well-visited lake - replacing the old unsightly industrial buildings with high-quality contemporary modern dwellings.

Enabling urban systems transformations: co-developing national and local strategies - Urban TransformationsTransformative urban development is urgent to achieve future sustainable development and wellbeing. Transformation can benefit from shared and cumulative learning on strategies to guide urban development across local to national scales, while also reflecting the complex emergent nature of urban systems, and the need for context-specific and place-based solutions. The article addresses this challenge, drawing on extensive transdisciplinary engagement and National Strategy co-development processes for Australia. This includes generation of two frameworks as boundary objects to assist such transdisciplinary strategy development. An ‘enabling urban systems transformation’ framework comprises four generic overarching transformation enablers and a set of necessary underpinning urban capacities. This also built cumulatively on other sustainability and urban transformation studies. A complementary ‘knowledge for urban systems transformation’ framework comprises key knowledge themes that can support an integrated systems approach to mission-focused urban transformations, such as decarbonising cities. The article provides insights on the transdisciplinary processes, urban systems frameworks, and scoping of key strategies that may help those developing transformation strategies from local to national scales. Science highlights • Transdisciplinary national urban strategy development is used to distil generic frameworks and strategy scopes with potential international application.• The frameworks also build on other published framings to support convergent, cumulative and transdisciplinary urban science.• The ‘enabling transformations’ and ‘urban knowledge’ frameworks include the perspective of those developing sustainable urban systems strategies.• The enabling framework also informs ‘National Urban Policy’ and ‘Knowledge and Innovation Hub’ strategies, and prevailing power imbalances.• The knowledge framework can help frame urban challenges, missions and knowledge programs.
