Growth and Development Framework

To deliver the Growth and Development Programme the Council has identified a number of sites across the Borough with projects planned to be implemented over the short, medium and long term. Delivery of these private and public sector projects will generate many benefits to the Borough, including:- • Additional tax revenues to support the Council's Medium Term Financial Strategy; • Accelerate economic activity to create employment opportunities for residents; • Support growth and vitality in the town centres of Blackburn and Darwen; • Generate financial benefits from strategic land receipts; and • Extend the choice and range of new family housing to attract new residents into the Borough.
