Construction Trends in Hyndburn
Huncoat is Hyndburn's biggest growth area, with around 1,500 new homes planned across allocated and committed sites. Accrington town centre is midway through a 70 million pound, ten year masterplan, with the council having completed acquiring the final property in the Market Chambers complex in 2025, backed by 20 million pounds of Levelling Up Fund money. The plan includes converting Market Chambers into a cultural venue, Burton Chambers into coworking space, and Market Hall into a food and drink destination, alongside residential development around Grange Lane and St James Street. Away from these schemes, established areas keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
