Proposals to build 37 new homes and four light industrial units on derelict former railways sidings in Darwen have been given the green light. Senior councillors have approved a planning application for the scheme off Hollins Grove Street. The new housing estate on the southern part of the site will have a mix of three and four-bedroomed properties with associated parking and gardens.
The northern portion of the currently vacant land will be home to four commercial units for light industrial and storage use providing 1,653 square metres of space. There will be separate access road to the new housing and business/employment premises.
