Housing in the Green Belt

Hyndburn Borough Council has approved the redevelopment of Broadfield Garage by Ormwood Homes Ltd to provideĀ 4 detached and 8 semi-detached houses. The development, which is outside the settlement boundary, was demonstrated to be acceptable due to the council’s lack of a 5-year housing supply, and because it reuses a brownfield site without harming the openness of the Green Belt.
