Summary - FINSLEY GATE WHARF, FINSLEY GATE BB11 2FG
1 bed 1 bath Land
Rare large parcel with housing allocation and established technical reports available.
- Approximately 8 acres of land adjoining Leeds Liverpool Canal
A substantial canal-side opportunity on the edge of Burnley town centre, this roughly 8-acre former mill site sits adjacent to Finsley Gate Wharf with dual access from Marlborough Street and Finsley Gate. The land spans six separate title numbers and benefits from allocation for housing under Burnley Local Plan (policy HS1). A historic mixed-use consent exists (APP/2010/0594) and pre-application advice plus a topographical survey are available to support scheme development.
The site is suited to a range of schemes (subject to planning): affordable housing, apartments, retirement living or mixed commercial/residential redevelopment. The owners will consider conditional and unconditional offers and the land may be split into two sections if required. Practical advantages include canal frontage, good pedestrian links to the town centre, and easy road access to the A682 and nearby Tesco convenience store.
Key commercial points and constraints are clear: the plot comprises six titles which will require legal consolidation or coordinated disposal; tenure is currently unknown; VAT may be payable on the purchase price; and services information is not provided. The wider area is classified as very deprived with a very high local crime rate — factors that will influence scheme design, funding and rental values.
For developers and investors, the strengths are scale, allocation for housing, and available technical reports to accelerate planning work. For residential schemes, proximity to local schools and town-centre amenities is positive. Buyers should factor in remediation, title consolidation, and community-context issues when appraising the site.
