Durn Development Brief November 2014

Overview

This development brief provides a planning framework and options for the development of the Durn area of Littleborough.  The purpose of the development brief is to set out the potential redevelopment of this site in a linked and coordinated manner so to deliver a high quality scheme which maximises its sustainable, canal side location.  Such a development would not only enhance the canal corridor but would add to the tourism and visitor economy of the wider area.

The draft development brief includes

• A background to the site;
• An overview of the known and potential site constraints;
• A summary of the planning context – including planning history and relevant planning policies;
• Options for the redevelopment of the site – including matters relating to design and access; and
• An indication of the further work required to help to bring the site to the market.

The final version of the development brief will be adopted by the Council and used to assess any planning applications for the site.
