Masterplan for the Weavers’ Triangle
May 3, 2012
Our indicative masterplan for the Finsley Gate/Healey Royd site in the Weavers’ Triangle, Burnley, Lancashire includes public space, housing, commercial space, community buildings and a proposal for the restoration of Finsley Gate Mill. The scheme, for site owner St Modwen Properties plc, received outline planning approval in March 2011.
Our scheme is based upon logical and legible pedestrian movement. The relationship between the leisure environment of the canal, the everyday connections with the town centre, and the need to integrate the adjacent housing areas was fundamental to the development of the new plan.
