The plans were rejected two years ago after councillors ruled that two of the proposed industrial units were too high
The property arm of the Blackburn billionaire Issa brothers’ new bid to build three controversial industrial units on Hapton’s Burnley Bridge Business Park has been given planning permission to go ahead. This latest proposal, aimed at creating more than 100 jobs, was approved by councillors on Thursday night.
Monte Blackburn Ltd, the property arm of EG Group founders Mohsin and Zuber Issa business empire which had purchased the site in Magnesium Way in October 2021 for millions of pounds, appealed the decision to the government’s planning inspectorate.In January last year inspector M J Francis upheld the decision based on the warehouses’ impact on surrounding houses.
A planning officer’s report recommending councillors to approve the detailed scheme with 33 conditions was rubber stamped by Burnley Council’s development control committee. This is despite an objection from the Burnley Bridge Action Group and eight similar letters from nearby residents. The officer’s report says: “This application seeks to overcome the single reason for refusal by way of reducing the proposed maximum ridge height of units A and B to below seven metres. The application site forms the northern part of Burnley Bridge Business Park.
