New Homes in Burnley with a Death Trap on Your doorstep
Your Childrens Lives are at Stake
Hollins Cross Farm Development Hollins Cross Farm Development Hollins Cross Farm Development
In December 2022 ‘The Combined Residents Group’ for Wilkie Avenue, Fairways Drive, Glen View Road, Rose Hill and surrounding estates , employed Kirkwells planning consultants to oppose a Planning Application by PROSPECT HOMES to build 200 Houses on Hollins Cross Farm.
THE MAIN RESON for this opposition is that PROSPECT HOMES intende to excavate a large retention basin / pond swamp behind the houses on Glen View Road at the bottom of this NEW Development.
THIS is a potential DEATH TRAP to local children.
PROSPECT HOMES are advertising this as an Area for Recreation.
PROSPECT HOMES REFUSE to fence this area off,
as part of their plans they are encouraging people to play around it.
This they claim is part of their Legal Requirement
to provide 10% of a New Development as Recreational Space.
Since 2012, more than 40 children under five have drowned ........
Why is the Hollins Cross Retention Basin a Danger to Children Read more.....
The New Estate and Flooding
PROSPECT HOMES the Developer REFUSED to perform a Winter Ground Water Survey on the Hollins Cross Farm Site.
This Retention Basin/Swamp/Pond WILL affect everyone in this area, ANY flood related issues that affect surrounding houses will mean the all ajoing postcodes in the area will be classed as AT RISK, premiums will rise, so people may not even get insurance.
DO NOT believe the line peddled by the Council and Prospect Homes that the Lancashire Local Flood Authority say it is not a risk.
When a property floods ALL houses close to that property are deemed a RISK.
Traffic and Local Children
1000s of extra cars will be added to the roads in this area and they will all be trying to avoid the bottleneck of Glen View Road.
THESE CARS WILL use the narrow roads of the estates.
16,000 kids every year - more.......
FLOODING is PART of the future
