Transport planner JMP is undertaking two transport studies for Burnley Borough Council as part of 15 year Area Action Plans to breathe life back into two areas which have suffered from industrial and housing decline.
The studies are designed to support the long term development aspirations for south west Burnley, where large areas are being cleared for new housing and other developments as part of the Housing Market Renewal Initiative, and the protection and improvement of Padiham, a historic market town.
Burnley’s Planning Policy and Environment team is working with JMP on the development of a strategy that takes full account of the cumulative impact of development in the areas on transport networks. A package of measures will be identified to meet additional demand across all transport modes in a sustainable manner and which will support both Area Action Plans.
