Our beautiful new homes are taking shape!
Roof now on plots 3 and 4. Notice the sun tunnel - it allows lots of light onto the first floor landing.

Front elevation to plots 3 and 4. The stonework is soon to be joined by complementary Western Red Cedar weatherboarding and off-white render.

Come home to Beech StreetBradley Big Local Community Land Trust, working with Ultimate Property Solutions, is proud to offer for sale four beautiful, modern three bedroom semi-detached houses in the heart of Nelson.
|
|
Currently under construction, the homes are due for completion in Spring 2020, but at the discounted market sale price of £115,000 they won't be available for long!
Designed by local architect, Andrew Parker, each new home is a three-bedroom, semi-detached house with private front and rear garden and a driveway with parking for two cars. The modern design includes a large dining kitchen, utility area and ground floor wc. The properties are well-insulated, have double glazed Upvc windows and an up-to-date gas central heating system. Externally, the property construction of stonework with off-white render and Western Red Cedar timber weatherboard features respects the local tradition yet stands out from the norm.
Quality homes like these for only £115,000?
BBL Community Land Trust is a community owned, community run company. We want these homes to be affordable and this means there are a few terms and conditions prospective buyers need to be aware of:
Alongside the discounted price, BBL Community Land Trust has agreed a local connection policy to make sure that the houses are sold to first time buyers living, working or with a strong connection to the Bradley ward and who are unable to afford to buy a similar type of home locally.
Homes will be sold on a leasehold basis.
The lease includes a resale price covenant to ensure future buyers can also benefit from a 20% discount. The houses must remain affordable for the long term future, not just today.

Friday, 19th July 2019
Typical British summer weather (wet) didn't put us off launching our Beech Street development site this morning. The Trust's Directors were joined by the Mayor and Mayoress of Pendle, Councillors Ken Hartley and Jayne Mills, to unveil the signs announcing the building of four houses for affordable home ownership. The persistent drizzle meant we kept speeches short with an introduction from Waqas Arshad, Chair of the Board of Directors and a lovely message of support from the Mayor.
Our guests included: local residents; local business owners; Leader of Pendle Council, Councillor Iqbal; Councillor Aslam; Dean Langton, Chief Executive, Pendle Borough Council; Jon Lee and Cheryl Terry, Ecology Building Society; Andrew Parker, architect; Les Gooding, structural engineer; and Simon Whittam and Andrew Makin, Readstone Construction Ltd.
We quickly moved on to Grassroots, St Philips, on Leeds Road where the designs for the houses were on show (as well as the availability of brews and biscuits!).
Thank you to everyone who came along, it was great to see you all and a special thank you to Readstone Construction for setting up the red velvet curtain without telling us!!

PLANNING APPLICATION FOR OUR BEECH STREET SCHEME NOW APPROVED
1st October 2018: ELECTED MEMBERS ON PENDLE BOROUGH COUNCIL'S NELSON AREA COMMITTEE VOTED TO APPROVE THE PLANNING APPLICATION FOR FOUR SEMI-DETACHED HOUSES TO BE BUILT ON DERELICT LAND AT BEECH STREET, NELSON.
THIS REPRESENTS A KEY MILESTONE IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF BRADLEY BIG LOCAL COMMUNITY LAND TRUST AS A FORCE FOR THE REGENERATION OF THE AREA. THE TRUST'S CHAIR, WAQAS ARSHAD, AND SECRETARY, PETER DEWHURST ISSUED THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT:
"On behalf of Bradley Big Local Community Land Trust, we would like to express our thanks to Nelson Area Committee for supporting our planning application.
Housing and affordability are national issues. Community-led housing projects are gaining public recognition across the country and, together, we have recently successfully campaigned for Government backing – £163 million in total.
Our plans for Beech Street are an emblem of community-led housing, not just in Bradley, Nelson or even Pendle but across the whole of Lancashire. Bradley residents instigated this development and, through Bradley Big Local Partnership, pledged half a million pounds worth of funding to make the scheme happen.
The community is picking up where the Housing Market Renewal Pathfinder scheme left off in 2011. They got fed up of looking at a wasteland and decided to do something about it.
It is a small scheme, but our four houses represent the re-birth of the area. With a striking, modern design we are setting the standard for future development.
We know our scheme meets local housing needs. All the consultation work done by Bradley Big Local Partnership supports the Council’s own policies and strategies in calling for housing developments to provide larger homes with garden space and off road parking - breaking up the monopoly of terrace houses and offering residents a choice in the housing market at an affordable price.
More importantly, though, the return from the sale of our houses releases funding for further investment in the area. Bradley Big Local Community Land Trust is a community owned company – we do not pay dividends – we recycle our assets to continue with the regeneration of Bradley. Your decision yesterday will be welcomed throughout the ward."
