A new purpose has been found for the site of a former Lancashire slaughterhouse reports Local Democracy Reporter Bill Jacobs.
The site of a closed East Lancashire slaughterhouse is to be used to store repurposed shipping containers. A planning application for the backdated approval for the demolition of the majority of the buildings used by the ABP Blackburn abattoir in Balfour Street, Great Harwood, has been submitted to Hyndburn Council. It also asks for permission to use the site for storage.
“Excluding this modest unit the site is entirely open. “The proposed application comprises the retrospective partial demolition of a portion of the redundant abattoir building and change of use from the existing to storage to enable leasing of the yard to a prospective tenant who wishes to predominantly store repurposed domesticated shipping containers on site.
