\n Anthony Reedy, of Perform-Physiotherapy, sought to transform the unit at Station Yard, Colne<\/a> Road, into a facility offering various services – including a gym, a physiotherapy clinic, and a wellbeing recovery space.\n<\/p>\n

\n Pendle<\/a> Borough Council granted full approval but set out five conditions.\n<\/p>\n

\n These included that no customers were allowed on the premises outside the hours of 5.30am and 11pm, Monday to Friday, and 7am to 9pm on weekends and bank holidays.\n<\/p>\n

\n Additionally, 21 parking spaces must be provided and remain in place, free from obstruction, for the lifetime of the development.\n<\/p>\n

\n The building, once used as a goods shed as part of Earby railway station,\u00a0has not been operational for over a year, last serving as a storage and distribution site. Before that, it was a car workshop.\n<\/p>\n

\n According to documents submitted to Pendle Council, the site\u00a0would “provide a modern gym space for the community to exercise” and is described as “a unique service, in an ever-growing industry”.\n<\/p>\n

\n The application also highlighted that the site would “bring a place of work for local sports therapists and fitness instructors, either employed or self-employed, who wish to provide personal training, small group sessions or exercise classes, along with potential roles for housekeeping, administrative services.”\n<\/p>\n

\n The proposal outlines the opening of a fitness facility offering an array of exercise and rehabilitation services, equipped with cardiovascular machines, resistance equipment, and free weights.\n<\/p>\n

\n The gym will also feature a smaller classroom for group sessions such as pilates, yoga, and strength training.\n<\/p>\n

\n The premises will also have two therapy rooms for consultations and treatment, and a designated recovery area providing therapeutic services for patient rehabilitation.\n<\/p>\n

\n Additional features would include separate changing facilities for men and women with secure lockers, toilets, and showers.\n<\/p>\n

\n The facility is expected to attract clientele from neighbouring areas, potentially boosting the local economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anthony Reedy, of Perform-Physiotherapy, sought to transform the unit at Station Yard, Colne Road, into a facility offering…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":520407,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[49,48,407,84],"class_list":["post-520406","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fitness","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-fitness","tag-health"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520406","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=520406"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520406\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/520407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=520406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=520406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=520406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
