Help shape the future of Hyndburn

Council Leader, Cllr Miles Parkinson, is calling on residents, local businesses and anyone who has an interest in Hyndburn, to help shape the Borough in the future and have their say on an important planning document, the Development Management Development Plan Document (DPD), which the Council is currently working on. 

Cllr Parkinson said; “Make sure you have your say on the Development Management Development Plan Document (DPD), which will set out the detailed day-to-day planning policies through which development within Hyndburn will be delivered, and which planning applications will be judged against. The consultation is now open and runs until Friday 18th January 2013.”

Cllr Parkinson continued; “We’ve already produced the first version of the Development Management DPD to encourage discussion on a range of issues earlier this year. The next stage of the Development Management DPD is the Preferred Policy Options Document, which is where we’re at now and so we’re asking for comments now on the policies which have been presented. All comments will be considered and help inform the next stage of the documents production in Spring 2013, so please make sure you register you views.”

You can comment on the Development Management document from Friday 23rd November 2012 until Friday 18th January 2013 through the Council’s website at www.hyndburnbc.gov.uk; at local libraries and at Council Offices, Scaitcliffe House, Ormerod Street, Accrington, BB5 0PF, during normal working hours.

Please email your comments to email to planning@hyndburnbc.gov.uk, or post to ‘Development Management Consultation,’ using the above address. All comments should be received by 5pm on Friday 18th January 2012 and will be made available for public inspection, and will therefore not be treated as confidential. After taking account of comments received, the next stage will be to produce the publication edition later in 2013.
