with the footpath from it across the site set to remain
Henry Boot’s strategic land promotion arm has lodged outline plans for the project with Ribble Valley Council
wants to build homes on a site off Longsight Road in the village
which lies a few miles to the north of Blackburn
The site itself is close to Langho railway station to the north of the village
and comprises 49 acres between the Ribble Valley railway line – which links the village with services to Blackburn
Clitheroe and Manchester – and the A59 Longsight Road
As set out in the design & access statement
it is accessed via a public footpath and underpass from Olive Bank
The site features what is described as “a large amount of Category A and B trees
largely concentrated around the central beck which runs north to south and creates an undulating topography along the centre of the site”
An existing public right of way crosses the site diagonally
from the underpass to the railway station and Langho
to Longsight Road and further north-wards towards Old Langho Road
the site was submitted in a 2022 call for sites process
as the council sought to set out allocations in a Local Plan
No firm position has been arrived at since
although housebuilder Pringle has delivered 42 homes on a nearby site
Hallam’s team points out that the presence of the railway station makes this a highly sustainable location
Consultation has seen engagement with both local and county councils
along with other parties such as the NHS and parish council
In-person public consultation has also taken place
while more than 850 leaflets outlining the plans have ben distributed
Hallam Land has set out in planning documentation that it intends for 30% of the homes on-site to be affordable
and 15% of homes will be designed for older people
As the plans are still only at outline stage
there is no detail yet on the housing mix in terms of be4droom numbers
but Stantec did say that following consultation
the number of bungalows and homes suitable for downsizers will be increased
As the site is currently well-used for walking
and the deign team said that a network of paths will keep the site as permeable
with wildlife habitats and tree planting to be considered at reserved matters stage
Hallam Land Management’s proposals can be viewed on the Ribble Valley planning portal

Plans to bulldoze a Derbyshire village pub and build homes in its place have been given the go-ahead
Punch Taverns lodged a planning application with Erewash Borough Council to demolish The White Hart Inn
The pub company initially sought permission to construct four homes on the site
paving the way for the vacant pub to be pulled down and building work on the new properties to begin
The site connects directly to the Erewash green belt
a report prepared by the authority’s planning department recommended the revised scheme be approved
The report said: “Transport links are good in the area
“The site would be a good natural expansion of the types of local tenure in similar height and density
The site is brownfield and highly sustainable
“Housing demand for affordable homes is strong in the area
A demolition and new build scheme would be the only cost effective way to develop a viable housing scheme on this site.”
the borough council said: “The plans have been amended over the course of the application in order to better address the street scene and the bend in the highway and to address concerns regarding the proximity to and overlooking neighbouring dwellings
“The proposed design of all five dwellings is considered to be acceptable in both scale and appearance.”

Editor’s note: “What’s the Big Deal?” runs Sundays and is based on the most expensive property transaction recorded in Pitkin County through 3 p.m
Worth noting: The sale of this redeveloped West End property tied for the most fourth-most expensive property transaction of the year. The $23.1 million sale of the Sardy House

That’s according to a recent newsletter from broker James Benvenuto
who reported August registered 39 property sales
Benvenuto also pointed out that sales of single-family homes are actually outpacing last year’s numbers in Snowmass Village
up from $74 million for the same period in 2015

A few Aspen School District staffers will get to ring in the new year from their new digs at the edge of Aspen’s West End
where several of seven district-owned units located on West Hallam Street near the S-curves are already filling in with their newest residents
Three of the seven units have already been assigned and the new tenants will be moved in by the new year
according to the district’s housing program manager Elen Woods Mitchell
a few of the remaining units will likely be allocated using a lottery system
The district did not want to overcommit units while wrapping up the final closing details on the Hallam property
which is why the units weren’t all allocated at once
One ADA-compliant unit likely won’t be part of the forthcoming lottery because staff who need accommodations get priority on that space
Rents at the Hallam property are $900 per month for the single one-bedroom unit
$1,600 per month for each of a couple two-bedroom units
$2,100 per month for each of a few three-bedroom units and $2,400 for the single four-bedroom unit onsite
“It’s really nice to see something come to fruition so quickly in the bond
so it’s setting a nice example for us for (how we’ll) go forward,” Woods Mitchell said; she considers the acquisition a “feather in their cap” for the Board of Education and district administrators
The district is now on a roll to acquire more housing
At the last Board of Education meeting of the year on Dec
the school board approved a few contracts that express the intent to purchase eight units — some with four or five bedrooms — on Waters Avenue in Aspen for $5 million and one single-bedroom unit on Lower River Road between Woody Creek and Old Snowmass for $400,000
Those board approvals are for the cost of the properties but don’t actually mean the sales have closed yet
A handful of other acquisitions are already in the books this year
ranging from developable lots at Stott’s Mill in the midvalley to move-in-ready condos on Main Street in Aspen
The district’s mission to attract and retain employees calls for a “diversified portfolio” of housing options
Benevolent sellers are the ones to thank for some of the purchases that have rung in well below market rate
“The district feels very supported by this community
and it didn’t end with the bond,” Woods Mitchell said
and those inquiries are absolutely welcome
Each acquisition marks another step toward a goal to nearly double the existing inventory in the next three years and ensure the district is able to offer affordable housing in and around Pitkin County to every full-time employee who wants it by 2036
15 housing presentation to the school board
That may not mean housing every employee on the payroll
though; Woods Mitchell sees the district’s staff housing — entirely composed of rentals — as a “feeder program” into deed-restricted home ownership through the Aspen-Pitkin County Housing Authority and said the district aims to support employees who are ultimately looking to secure housing through an APCHA lottery
The school district currently houses 26% of its staff in 76 rental units
The district owns and manages 63 of those units and sublets 13 more to help meet staff housing needs while working on acquiring more options
the aim is to up those stats to house 54% of the staff in 143 units through bond-funded developments
purchases and expansions of existing inventory
But the work of the district’s housing program goes well beyond buying up more units
but that’s not just purchases,” Woods Mitchell said
“That’s the due diligence efforts
the improvements we’re making to our existing units — I mean
we have like multiple things we’re putting equal force to it’s not just acquisitions
so there’s a lot of stamina required right now.”
“Research mode and diligence mode,” Woods Mitchell said
