43.4%

England average: 20.3%

Mill terraces
Terraces with back yards and alleys are the norm. A cat flap in the back door is usually best; solid walls need an extended tunnel for a wall flap.
Darwen and the moors
Darwen's terraces climb the hillsides below the moors, so for a dog flap consider the step outside the back door.

Questions from homeowners in Blackburn
Should the flap go in the yard door or the house door?
Usually the house door, so your pet comes into the enclosed yard.
I rent. Can I have a cat flap?
Only with your landlord's written permission. A flap in a replaceable door panel is often the easiest to agree.
Who handles planning?
