REVISED plans for one of Burnley's controversial new 'super schools' have been unveiled.

Permission has already been given for the 1050-place Unity College to be built on land at Towneley playing fields.

But councillors demanded planners look again at the fencing and measures to deal with fears over potential flooding.

In addition, it was last month reported that lottery bosses were considering pulling the plug on a £2million grant to restore Towneley Park if Unity College was "too intrusive".

And the revised plans are likely to lift that threat after plans for a fence between the school and park was amended.

The school - which will replace the former Towneley High School buildings - is part of the £250million Building Schools for the Future programme.

A spokesman for Lancashire county council said: "The proposed fence is considered acceptable in design terms in this location and would represent an acceptable barrier between the formal use of the school playing fields and the historic park and garden.

"The details previously submitted were considered insufficient to satisfy the requirements of the planning condition, particularly, in respect of the construction of the flood storage area and details of the diversion of the river "The details now submitted provide sufficient detail to demonstrate the nature, scale and dimensions of the flood storage area."

The amended plans will be considered at a meeting of Lancashire county council's development control committee next week.

Towneley Park, which is Grade II listed, is included on the English Heritage Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest.

A public inquiry is set to be held later this year.

Planning permission was given for the scheme last year, but an inquiry was called because Burnley council blocked the sale of the land forcing a Compulsory Purchase Order.

The inquiry will look at whether that is valid.
