Issa brothers lose government appeal to build warehouses at M65 business park
A bid from Blackburn’s billionaire Issa brothers to overturn the rejection of their scheme to complete Burnley Bridge Business Park has failed.
Clare Hales, from Burnley Green Party and chair of Burnley Bridge Action Group. who led the opposition to the scheme, said: “We are delighted with the result. We always knew that once someone who wasn’t local looked at the plans, they would see that 13 metre high industrial units, just metres away from residential homes, was a completely unreasonable use of the land.
The inspector’s report says: “The appeal is dismissed, and the reserved matters are refused. The main issue is the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of dwellings that adjoin the site.
