Developers Gladman Developments have submitted an outline planning application for up to 115 homes on two parcels of farmland either side of Henthorn Road at the south-west edge of Clitheroe. The proposal sets out the scale of development rather than final house designs. Around 30% of the homes are shown as affordable housing and more than half of the 7.17-hectare site is proposed as green space. The application follows earlier housing proposals on the same land that were refused in 2021, and it is now open for public comment.
Key details:
- The outline application covers two parcels of farmland on either side of Henthorn Road and would deliver up to 115 dwellings ranging from one- to five-bedroom homes.
- Around 30% of the homes (up to 35 properties) are described as affordable, aimed at first-time buyers, older residents, and people with local connections.
- The site measures about 7.17 hectares, with plans showing roughly four hectares of public open land including a community parkland, walking routes linking to the Ribble Way, a community orchard, two children's play areas, and landscaped green corridors.
- Access is proposed from Henthorn Road and Ingleton Crescent, with the development split into a northern and a larger southern section.
- Developers say the scheme has been reworked since a 2021 refusal, with a lower-density layout, increased green space, and design changes to better reflect the edge-of-town setting.
- The planning statement notes the council cannot currently demonstrate a full five-year supply of housing land and highlights ongoing demand on the borough's housing register.
Summary:
If approved, the scheme would provide up to 115 homes and substantial public open space on the Henthorn Road site. The application is currently in public consultation and a decision is expected later this year.
