Construction Trends in Pendle
Pendle's flagship regeneration scheme is in Nelson, where the council bought the Pendle Rise shopping centre in 2024 using Nelson Town Deal funding. The centre closed in late 2025 ahead of demolition and will be replaced with a new retail complex, with heritage features including a mosaic compass retained. Colne and Earby also have their own published town centre masterplans setting out ten to fifteen year visions, and Barnoldswick's masterplan is in progress too. The council's housing requirement is notably lower than the government's standard figure, framed around what it considers realistic for the borough. Away from these schemes, established towns keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
