Permission granted for the redevelopment of former Rossendale United FC stadium
On Tuesday 28 February 2017, Rossendale Council was minded to grant outline planning permission to Culzean Developments, for a residential scheme on land partly occupied by a derelict stadium previously used by Rossendale United FC.
The football stadium was last used by non-league Rossendale United in 2011 and was badly damaged by a fire in 2012. Since then the site has become derelict.
The proposals, designed by Halliday Meecham Architects, total 100 homes, along with a children’s play area, and access off Dark Lane.
As part of the development 20% of the residential units will be affordable, and a financial contribution of £130,755 will be made to deliver a replacement playing pitch at Marl Pits Leisure Centre in Rossendale.
EKPS advised on the application.
