The site had been empty since a huge fire gutted the historic landmark building in April, 2016.

In July, 2019, the Burnley Express reported that plans had been submitted to build 20 new homes on the site.

LNT is planning to build 140 care homes between 2021 and 2026. This equates to around one in three newly built care homes in the UK and around 12,500 new beds provided.
