Plans are underfoot to transform the old Burnley Council contact centre into luxury apartments.

An application has been submitted to Burnley Council outlining plans for 26 luxury apartments to be built across four levels of the vacant building on the corner of Parker Lane and Red Lion Street.

There will be six studio apartments, 13 one-bedroom apartments, and seven two-bedroom apartments. Parking space will be made available for eight vehicles.

Contact Burnley moved from this site to new offices, just 50 yards along Parker Lane, in 2019.

The contact centre houses staff that deal with inquiries from the public, as well as issues such as benefits claims and council services. The council’s main switchboard is also based there.

The planning application has been submitted by LMC Architecture on behalf of Jones Properties.
