BADLY polluted land in Colne is set to be redeveloped for housing.
Green Works in Knotts Lane was the site of a former chrome plating factory and the ground is contaminated.
Pendle councillors decided to delay making a decision on whether to grant Mr M Mazar outline permission to build homes on the site so they could meet with him to discuss the problems associated with it.
Now council officers have recommended councillors give the scheme the green light when they meet on Thursday, despite objections from Lancashire County Council and the Environment Agency.
