Construction Trends in Burnley
Burnley's Pioneer Place scheme on Curzon Street is a 23 to 26 million pound cinema and leisure complex, including a relocated Reel cinema, new food and drink units and a public square, forming part of the wider Town Centre and Canalside Masterplan with Burnley FC and UCLan. The masterplan also covers improvements to Charter Walk retail and a university campus with student housing around Sandygate Square. Full Council recently overturned a planning committee refusal to approve 147 homes combined across sites on Rossendale Road and Heckenhurst Avenue in Brownside. Away from these schemes, established areas keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
