Barnfield secures approval for £11m Burnley business park

Burnley Council has granted planning permission for Advance Point Business Park, a new £11m commercial development scheme from Nelson-based Barnfield Construction.

The site at Rossendale Road will feature 36 modern industrial units with roller shutter access and 160 car parking spaces.

Tracy Clavell-Bate, head of development at Barnfield Group, said: "We are delighted that planning has been granted and construction can commence in June.

"Just a stone’s throw away from Rossendale Road Industrial Estate, Advance Point is an attractive location for supply chain partners within the area and the units are designed with these growing businesses in mind.”

Commercial property agent Trevor Dawson has been appointed for the sale and lease of the units.

Michael Cavannagh, director of Trevor Dawson, added: "It is great to see this scheme coming forward in Burnley. Demand for industrial premises remains strong and given the location and quality of scheme we are confident that there will be a high level of interest as the scheme progresses. Indeed we already have an extensive waiting list for the scheme when prices and timescales are released."
