CAPITA Symonds has been commissioned to prepare a masterplan for Roe Lee, Blackburn.
Coun Arshid Mahmood has asked the firm to interview residents, businesses and private landowners, to ‘identify constraints, aspirations and opportunities’ for local development and improvement’.
In a report to tomorrow’s meeting of Blackburn with Darwen’s full council meeting Coun Mahmood said: “Recently the project team has been informed future school provision for the North area of the borough may need to be accommodated within the Roe Lee site and this will be addressed within the master planning process. Additional information includes identifying housing need, boundary areas and different housing options.”
