Plans have been tabled to turn part of a problem-plagued East Lancashire former industrial site into houses.

However, this fell through because of flooding problems from River Calder and Green Brook. Despite a £4.9million grant for new flood defences and improvement work on Padiham town centre, the land is now considered unsuitable for housing and is being considered for green leisure use.But Baxi still want to build homes on the north-western section of the former factory which is elevated above the remainder of the former factory site.
