Burnley is one of East Lancashire’s most dynamic towns — a place with deep industrial roots, a proud cultural identity, and a borough that continues to attract significant investment and development activity.

We have direct experience of working on some of Burnley’s most notable development projects, and we understand the range of survey challenges the borough presents, from its urban mill-town fabric to its expansive countryside and leisure estates.

Burnley's Development Landscape
Burnley's Development Landscape
Burnley has built a reputation as one of the North West’s most resilient post-industrial towns, balancing the preservation of its historic character with genuine economic ambition. The town’s designation as one of 55 towns receiving government funding through the long-term investment programme has brought additional momentum to regeneration priorities, with local communities and the Town Board shaping how that investment is targeted across employment, public space, culture, and community wellbeing.
The borough continues to deliver strong housing numbers — consistently exceeding Local Plan targets — and the wider leisure, hospitality, and commercial sectors around Crow Wood, the town centre, and East Lancashire’s road and rail corridors continue to generate significant development and refurbishment activity.
Burnley’s planning framework is guided by Burnley’s Local Plan 2012–2032, adopted July 2018 and reviewed in July 2023 — confirmed as current and not requiring update.

Yes — our work at The Woodland Spa at Crow Wood is a good example. We support leisure and hospitality projects at all stages, from pre-planning topographic surveys and measured building surveys through to construction checking and as-built records.
Can you survey rural and countryside sites around Burnley?
Absolutely. The Burnley area includes a significant amount of open countryside, estate land, and rural development sites — particularly toward Pendle Hill, the Forest of Bowland, and the Ribble Valley fringes. Our UAV survey capability is particularly well suited to large rural sites, providing comprehensive aerial data efficiently.

We carry out measured building surveys and 3D laser scanning on a wide range of building types, including the mill buildings, textile heritage structures, and industrial properties that are characteristic of East Lancashire. Laser scanning is particularly effective for complex or historic structures, capturing accurate data with minimal disruption.

Yes. Our laser scanning and total station survey outputs can be delivered as point cloud data, processed BIM models, or CAD drawings to your specification. We work to agreed formats and coordinate with your design and construction teams throughout.
