PLANS to demolish a former health centre have been withdrawn.
A scheme for the 1970s health centre in Richmond Court, Market Street, Colne, formerly known as the Horsefield Medical Centre, was submitted to Pendle planners last month.
The planning application involved the building being replaced by a modern structure housing commercial units and apartments.
The scheme, earmarked for the vacant two-storey building previously owned by the NHS, was drawn up by Brierfield-based Barnfield Construction.
The site of the commercial units and apartments application is next to the Red Lion pub, which is a listed building, and lies in a conservation area.
Documents submitted with the application said the former health centre is now unused. It served as a drop-in clinic.
If the scheme had been approved, it would have been replaced by a three-storey building, with retail space on the ground floor and six residential units above.
A separate application to change the use of Colne Corner Surgery, also in Richmond Court, to a funeral home is due to be decided in September.
