Muller acquires canal side development

Cheshire-based property company Muller has submitted proposals for a canal side development in Burnley on a brownfield site.Muller has lodged plans seeking planning permission on the 5.4 acre former Lodge Mill site. The mill was demolished in 2015 and the site sits on the Leeds Liverpool Canal and close to Reedley Marina.The land is allocated for housing in the Burnley Local Plan and the company lodged its planning application in July for 73 new homes to include two, three and four bedroom mews, semi and detached houses.The mature, tree-lined site is accessed directly off Barden Lane and benefits from canal frontage. The Muller proposal includes the creation of a green corridor along the canal with a number of properties fronting directly onto the water.Muller has a long history in building, development and land promotion across the North West. A number of recently acquired developments in Greater Manchester and Lancashire form part of a new brownfield land division for the business headed up by Stephen Howard.
