Project: The Foundry, Hammerton Street, Burnley
Growth Lancashire was appointed to provide a Heritage Impact Statement to help resolve an issue regarding window replacements in the impressive former Proctors Mill, which was being converted into 26 self-contained apartments. The Grade II listed, 8-bay, 4-storey former Spinning Block, along with its chimney and engine house, lies in a prominent location within the Burnley Town Centre Conservation Area.
The focus of the work was the assessment of the building’s significance and whether a small number of the replacement windows would harm the character of the listed building. Our review of the case and assessment has helped in the understanding of the building and the effects of the changes on the heritage values of the retained structure.
Project: The Red Lion Inn, Earby
We have recently provided a Heritage Statement for the alteration and extension of an early 19th-century inn on the edge of the historic town of Earby, located on the Lancashire–Yorkshire border.
The work focused on providing assistance in the pre-planning phase with the design of the lounge extension and the preparation of a statement identifying the significance of the old inn and its contribution to the Earby Conservation Area, which will accompany the planning application to Pendle Council.
