**The Farmstead Building Development**
Brockhall Farm was built in connection with Brockhall Hospital which was
opened in 1904 and closed in 1992 when the site was redeveloped as a gated
community (now Brockhall Village) and Blackburn Rovers training ground which
lies on the Southern and Western boundaries of the property. The farm was
bought by the current vendors family in 1974 and has been farmed as a dairy
and stock farm since then. It is thought that the site has been occupied by a
farm since the sixteenth century and perhaps even earlier, but there is no
structural evidence of any such earlier buildings on the site now.
Planning consent to demolish and/or convert a number of the buildings into 8
residential properties along with the construction of a number of garages,
parking, gardens and amenity space for each property was obtained from Ribble
Valley Borough Council on 27 August 2021.
Full details of the consent are available on the Ribble Valley Borough Council
planning portal - Application number 3/2021/0311. Briefly the consent will
create eight new dwellings with a total Gross Internal Floor Area of 1, 602m2
(17, 244 sq ft) plus garages, courtyard and garden areas.
The existing features of the farm buildings have been maintained and
celebrated, including internal courtyards, exposed structure and materials,
double height spaces and large barn door openings.
Access is via an existing lane from Old Langho Road via the rear of Larkhill
Cottages. Mains electricity is connected and drainage will be via a new sewage
treatment plant. A new mains water connection will be required.
There are no public rights of way through the farmstead.
