New Homes in Burnley with a Death Trap on Your doorstep

Your Childrens Lives are at Stake

  Hollin Cross Farm Development    

  In 2016 ‘The Combined Residents Group’ for Wilkie Avenue, Fairways Drive, Glen View Road, Rose Hill and surrounding estates , began to oppose the inclusion of land just off New Road, A646 in Burnley.


In 2022 a Planning Application by PROSPECT HOMES to build 200 Houses on Hollin Cross Farm was submitted.


THE MAIN RESON for this opposition is that PROSPECT HOMES intend 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.



Drowning

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


Initially PROSPECT HOMES the Developer REFUSED to perform a Winter Ground Water Survey on the Hollin Cross Farm Site.


In 2023 a government inspector instructed that a winter ground water survey must be performed.


This Retention Basin/Swamp/Pond WILL affect everyone in this area, ANY flood related issues that affect  surrounding houses will mean the all adjoining postcodes in the area will be classed as AT RISK, premiums will rise, so people may not get insurance or be classed as high risk.



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.



 Road dangers in Britain

  kill and injure over 

16,000 kids every year - more.......

FLOODING is PART of the future

Climate Change is NOW, this was Whalley 2015, the water came from BURNLEY & PADIHAM, from the hills of Crown Point. This is NOT an isolated incident this will happen to us BURNLEY IS NO EXCEPTION.


There are over 45+  Lancashire postcodes at 'high risk' of flooding according to insurers 


This could be our area if developers are allowed to continue.



There are NO GUARANTEES you will be able to get a competitive insurance premium on your house in the future IF flooding occurs in OUR area.
