A PUBLIC consultation on the final draft of Burnley’s Local Plan will start tomorrow.

The 274-page document was passed by councillors last month and residents now have six weeks to share their views on it.

The plan has set out space to build 2,483 homes across the borough.

As part of the discussions two drop-in sessions will take place to allow people to look at the proposals and speak to council officers.

These will take place on Tuesday, April 18, and Thursday, May 11, between 2pm and 8pm at Burnley Town Hall.

A council spokesman said: “The proposed submission plan is on the council’s website and printed copies are available to view at Contact Burnley, Burnley Central Library and Padiham Library.

“Whilst comments made earlier in the process have been taken into account as the successive drafts of the plan have been prepared it is very important that if people are unhappy with the proposed submission plan or, indeed, if they support the plan, they make representations in writing.

“This needs to be made by 5pm on Friday, May 26, so they have the opportunity for their comments to be considered by the independent inspector.”

As of tomorrow, comments can be made on the plan by visiting www.burnley.gov.uk
