Long list of planning applications and company histories
I see you expressed concerns a year ago about the single article editors additions- they add little to the subject. I will cull most and bring the text here to see if there is anything that merits retrieving.--ClemRutter (talk) 00:26, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

In April 2010, Burnley Council admitted that plans would have to be revisited, as the current schemes were unlikely to be feasible in the near future.

In June 2010 it was announced that the NWDA, and other Regional development agencys, were to be abolished. June saw another attempt by Valegate to secure planning permission for the George Street Mill site. Despite demolishing everything but the external walls, Amberfell never started construction on the residential development and the Thorneybank Mill site was sold to Balmers Garden Machinery, the long term occupants of the remaining section of the building. In September 2010, Balmers £3 million plans to extend into the vacant site were deemed inappropriate for the area. In October, the Valegate site was for sale. It was confirmed that additional repair work would take place on the council owned site. November saw new plans from St. Modwen, taking into account their desire to demolish the mills. In January 2011, it was confirmed that there would not be an immediate application for money from the new regional development fund.

In 2012 a planning application was submitted to create a £10.1 million University Technical College (UTC) in the Weavers’ Triangle. Following an announcement that £9.5 million had been awarded by the Education Funding Agency in July 2012 major construction work began on the site of the Grade II listed Victoria Mill complex, aiming to form part of wider plans to regenerate the surrounding area.

In February 2013, part of the Weavers’ Triangle was rebranded 'On the Banks' by Burnley Council, in a bid to attract investment and transform it into a vibrant £100 million development for business, living, leisure and education. The development will include public spaces, office and creative work space, and homes, with leisure and retail centres on the water’s edge.

The UTC Lancashire Visions Learning Trust officially opened in August 2013; the first UTC in Pennine East Lancashire. The college provides technical studies for students aged 14 to 19, combining traditional education programmes with employer-led technical training, including apprenticeships to address the local skills gap in engineering, advanced manufacturing and construction industries. Liverpool John Moores University and the University of Central Lancashire are the university sponsors of Visions Learning Trust; enabling learners to access clear progression routes into Higher Education. While the National Skills Academy for Nuclear, North West Aerospace Alliance and the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport are the strategic sponsors of the UTC. Employer sponsors of Visions Learning Trust include Chubb Systems, Cobham plc, Electricity North West, Enterprise plc, National Grid plc, Rolls-Royce plc, Safran Aircelle and Unison Industries.
