A large brownfield site of approximately 12.5 acres in Burnley offering a substantial residential development opportunity. The site is described as capable of delivering up to 110 units and includes around 4 acres optimised for public open space; a Biodiversity Metric assessment indicates a net biodiversity gain of 26.34%. It sits close to Burnley town centre, five minutes from the M65 and within easy reach of public transport.
This opportunity will suit housing developers or investors targeting family and multi‑generational homes; local evidence shows strong demand for larger affordable houses in the area. Services are reported to be available close by but purchasers must verify capacity. Access negotiations over a small portion of Old Hall Farm front garden/Oswald Street have been progressed, and the land is offered across four legal titles.
Buyers should note material practical and market issues. The site adjoins industrial uses, a railway line and existing terraced housing; development will require planning consent, infrastructure investment and formal confirmation of service connections. The location is in a very deprived area which presents both strong housing need and potential challenges for sales values and financing. Tenure details and council tax are not provided and will need clarification.
