1. The majority of development should be located to the west of the stream, leaving an 8 metre easement around the stream itself (indicated in blue on the above site plan). No built form should be located within the area indicated in green on the above site plan; this should be landscaped as open space forming part of a network of green infrastructure utilising the stream that runs across the eastern section of the site. Facilities to encourage employee usage of the site during breaks should be incorporated into any design.
2. Development on this site will be expected to consist of low rise units with a maximum ridge height of 7 metres which takes into account and integrates with the contours of the natural landscape. The development will be expected to incorporate natural materials such as local stone to ensure a quality design which will lessen the development’s impact on the surrounding landscape and streetscape.
3. Appropriate landscaping and boundary treatment should include screening to the western boundary along with roadside trees and shrubs adjacent to Rossendale Road. New planting on the site should accord with Policy NE3.
4. Vehicular access should be from a single point on the northern part of the site onto Rossendale Road. Appropriate traffic management systems may be required to both ingress and egress the site.
5. Pedestrian and cycle routes should be provided on site and contributions may be sought for off-site provision or improved cycle links.
6. An ecological survey should accompany any planning application which addresses any impacts on Protected Species and/or Priority Habitats in accordance with Policy NE1.

1. Lancashire County Council highway engineers have advised that vehicular access onto the site onto Rossendale Road should be at the northern edge of the site with appropriate sight lines and traffic management infrastructure and have highlighted that the development could adversely impact on the local road network with increased congestion at the Rosegrove and the Manchester Road signal junctions. The Burnley-Pendle Growth Corridor programme has identified fully funded improvements to the Rosegrove junction to be undertaken by Lancashire County Council but further improvement may be required for which contributions may be sought under Policy IC4.
2. The Burnley Green Infrastructure Strategy identifies Rossendale Road as an area which would benefit from enhanced GI in terms of improving the aesthetics of the road and its surroundings. New tree planting would assist whilst also providing other beneficial actions including the trapping of air pollutants, the absorption of noise, providing shade from the sun and evaporative cooling opportunities.
3. The Burnley Green Infrastructure Strategy identifies the stream running across the east of the site as an area of GI to enhance for supporting wildlife. Any development will need to address its potential ecological impact and/or mitigation measures in accordance with Policy NE1 and ensure network linkages remain on the site.
4. The site may house Protected Species and priority habitat (neutral grassland).
5. The Grade II Listed Habergham Hall Farmhouse lies around 180m west of the site. The detailed design of any scheme will need to address the potential impact on the setting of the listed building in accordance with Policy HE2.

1. The scale and massing of any development on the northern section of the site should be single- storey units with a maximum ridge height of 7 metres in order to limit the impact of development on the surrounding residential properties.
2. Vehicular access should be from the south of the site across the bridge over the Leeds & Liverpool Canal.
3. A landscaping scheme should be submitted which retains the existing bund on the northern boundary of the site and includes screen planting on the eastern boundary to restrict/reduce the impact of any development on the surrounding residential properties and wider landscape. New planting should accord with Policy NE3.
4. A new or updated ecological survey should accompany any planning application which addresses any impacts on Protected Species or other Lancashire Biodiversity Action Plan species and the Lancashire Ecological Networks for Woodland and Grassland in accordance with Policy NE1.

1. Outline planning permission was granted in 2010 for B1, B2 and B8 uses on the majority of the Business Park site. (APP/2008/0805).
2. A contaminated land survey should be prepared to accompany any planning application in accordance with Policy NE5.
3. Pylons and powerlines are located on the site. Developers will need to liaise with National Grid to determine appropriate building heights and siting.
4. Lancashire County Council highway engineers have indicated that there should be no access to motor vehicles from the residential area to the north from Cambridge Drive or to Hapton via Pollard Moor.
5. The Leeds & Liverpool Canal runs adjacent to the Burnley Bridge southern boundary and is identified as a green infrastructure asset and a corridor for wildlife in the Burnley Green Infrastructure Strategy.
6. The northern and eastern boundary of the site is identified as a stepping stone for grassland and woodland in the Lancashire Ecological Network. The Pollard Moor Biological Heritage Site (BHS) is also to the west of Business Park. Lancashire Biodiversity Action Plan species are known to be present on the site. Development will need to address the potential ecological impacts in accordance with Policy NE1.
7. Burnley Green Infrastructure Strategy also identifies the whole Burnley Bridge site as an area of potential to create GI in relation to managing water resources and reducing flood risk by increasing water infiltration opportunities. It also identifies an opportunity on the southern boundary of the south site for aesthetic improvements, the trapping of air pollutants, heritage and cultural needs in association with the canal.

1. An 8 metre easement around the River Calder is required (indicated in blue on the above site plan). Any development within this easement may require an environmental permit for flood risk activities. Developers are encouraged to seek early engagement with the Environment Agency regarding design.
2. A maximum of 4,000m² of B1a floorspace will be permitted.
3. Vehicular ingress should be from Princess Way or Holme Road via the roundabout at Junction 11, with egress directly onto the roundabout at Junction 11 of the M65. Holme Road may require upgrading to take the additional traffic. A new access bridge will need to be developed across the River Calder to site B.
4. New on-site walking and cycling facilities and routes will need to be provided, connecting the new development to the existing route network at Rectory Road. A public right of way crosses across part of the site (dashed line on site plan above). This should be retained/re-routed within the site and improved as part of any future development.
5. Replacement provision for the loss of the existing playing pitch at Stoneyholme will need to be identified before any planning permission in respect of site B is granted and will need to be delivered before work begins on site. A potential site for this re-provision is at Prairie Sports Village.
6. The established trees and shrubs, in particular those adjacent to the River Calder and along the site boundaries should be retained as part of a wider landscaping scheme to reduce the impact of development on nearby residential properties, the bowling club and the wider landscape and to support wildlife. Potential ecological impacts will need to be considered as the site is known to house Protected Species and a pond (Priority Habitat) An ecological survey will be required to accompany any planning application which addresses Protected Species and Priority Habitats in accordance with Policy NE1.
7. Site B is identified within Flood Zone 2. The layout and design of any development should take account of the recommendations of the Council's Strategic Flood Risk Assessment. Any development will need to be accompanied by a Flood Risk Assessment in accordance with Policy CC4 and seek opportunities to reduce the overall level of flood risk in the area through the layout and form of the development and through the provision of an appropriate sustainable drainage scheme.
8. Archaeological evaluation is required to assess the survival and significance of any remains from past industrial use. Should there be significant probability of surviving buried remains then field evaluation will be required consistent with Policy HE4; and any further investigation or recording works that may be necessary as a consequence of development.

1. B8 is not deemed an appropriate use in this location due to the limitations of Holme Road, the new bridge requirement and the associated vehicles and trips associated with a B8 use. A  limited amount of B1(a) development will be permitted on the site as an exception to the town centre first approach of Policy TC2 for such uses, in order to address potential safety concerns in relation to the pedestrian flows from the adjacent college.
2. Lancashire County Council highway engineers have advised that the preferred egress for all site parcels would be via the roundabout at junction 11 of the M65 with no egress onto Rectory Road.
3. Replacement provision for the loss of the existing playing pitch at Stoneyholme will need to be identified. The current proposal is for a new 3G pitch at the Prairie Sports Village. The delivery of this replacement facility should be carried out in consultation with Sport England.
4. The Burnley Green Infrastructure Strategy identifies the River Calder corridor as an area to potentially create GI that would support wildlife. Existing and new vegetation would provide further opportunities for improved shading from the sun and evaporative cooling. The GI Strategy also identifies the site as being within an area of need for food production.
5. The site is known to house Protected Species and other Lancashire Biodiversity Action Plan species and includes Priority Habitat. Mitigation measures should accord with Policy NE1.
6. The site is bisected by the River Calder, a main river and much of it, particularly site B is within Flood Zone 2.
7. A site investigation survey may be required on the site due to the proximity of Clifton Colliery.

1. This is a prominent site located on a key gateway into Burnley. The development in its density, layout and design of buildings must take into account the topography of the site and the surrounding landscape in accordance with Policy NE3, its landscape setting and the site’s ecological importance to minimise impacts. Any development proposals should be accompanied by a visual impact assessment to determine the appropriate location and design of units on the site. The development is expected to utilise natural materials in both the building and boundary features, such as local stone, particularly along the Accrington Road frontage. The existing dry stone walls should be retained, allowing for any set back at the new road junction.
2. No built form should be developed within the green hatched area on the above site plan; this should be landscaped as open space to lessen the development impact on the nearby residential properties.
3. Screen planting should be introduced as part of a wider landscaping scheme at the south western, south eastern and northern boundaries of the site to restrict/reduce the impact of any development on the adjacent residential properties and surrounding landscape.
4. A small section of the site is identified within Flood Zone 2 and 3. The layout and design of any development should take account of the recommendations of the Council's Strategic Flood Risk Assessment. Any development will need to be accompanied by a Flood Risk Assessment in accordance with Policy CC4 and seek opportunities to reduce the overall level of flood risk in the area through the layout and form of the development and through the provision of an appropriate sustainable drainage scheme.
5. Walking and cycling facilities will need to be provided on the site and a new appropriately lit walking and cycling route connecting the site to the existing Network 65 business park should  be provided, enabling the new development to be connected to the existing route network on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal and Padiham Greenway. There is a public right of way which crosses the site which will need to be retained/re-routed within the site and improved as part of any development (dashed line on site plan above).
6. Contributions for off-site highway and junction improvements in accordance with Policy IC4 may be sought if the development has an adverse impact on existing traffic flows.
7. The site is known to house Protected Species, Priority Habitat and forms part of the Lancashire Ecological Network for grassland. An ecological survey (to include a breeding bird survey) will be required to accompany any planning application which identifies and addresses these issues in accordance with Policy NE1.
8. The presence of the Medieval Hapton Deer Park within close proximity of the site would suggest that there is potential for unknown archaeology of local to regional significance relating to the Deer Park Pale (boundary). Suitable provision will need to be made for archaeological desk based assessment and field evaluation consistent with Policy HE4 ; and any further investigation or recording works that may be necessary as a consequence of development.

1. The Burnley Green Infrastructure (GI) Strategy identifies the site as being within an area of potential to create green travel routes.
2. Lancashire County Council highway engineers have indicated that unless the site is developed as an extension to the existing site, the only suitable access is via a new junction on Accrington Road which will require localised widening and traffic management arrangement to ensure safe ingress and access.
3. The Burnley Highways Impact Assessment (2017) indicates that without mitigation the southern roundabout at Junction 9 of the M65 will be incapable of supporting additional development beyond the completion of the current Burley Bridge Business Park site.
4. The Lancashire Ecological Network identifies part of the site as being a corridor for grassland and the site is known to house Protected Species and other Lancashire Biodiversity Action Plan species. It includes Priority Habitat (grassland and pond).
