Burscough station house could become a nursery but Up Holland homes plan sparks objections
A historic railway building in Burscough which has been vacant for some time could become a children’s nursery, under a plan submitted to West Lancashire Council.
Councillors on West Lancashire’s Planning Committee will look at the new plan this week. A planning report states: “The Station House closed to the travelling public in 2005 following the construction of a new interchange on the opposite side of the track. It was subsequently converted to residential use but has been vacant for some time. A planning permission in 2019 for the change of use to offices has not been implemented.
sustainable location with easy access by public transport and within walking distance of the town centre.” Approval is recommended with various conditions including the types of building materials and fittings. Separately, an application for 20 new homes on sloping land behind 126-160 Ormskirk Road in Up Holland should be refused, planning officers are advising councillors.
