40 CHORLEY
Brent Clayton, partner at Preston headquartered architects FWP, says: “We have looked to create a landmark building that will deliver modern homes designed for town living, while also complementing Chorley’s unique and vibrant town centre and nearby buildings, including the very distinctive and instantly recognisable town hall.”
Speaking after planning permission was secured, Max Walker-Williams, operations director at developer Walker & Williams, also based in Preston, said: “We’re proud to be bringing forward this high-quality scheme of apartments that will provide new town centre living opportunities for Chorley.

Plans for an 11-storey apartment building on the site of Chorley’s old magistrates court highlight the lofty ambitions that exist when it comes to town-centre living.
Granted planning permission last year, it will deliver 52 high-quality apartments and play a key role in the town’s ongoing regeneration journey.
Each property, including its duplex penthouses,
will have access to a private balcony as well as a communal open roof garden.
It will also include three ground-floor commercial units to add to the market town’s vibrant mix of shops, bars and restaurants.
Its construction will follow the demolition of the old courts building in St Thomas’s Square, which has stood vacant since 2018.

About us
We make warehouses smarter, safer and more efficient. Compliance inspection and training is a major part of that. We help organisations meet their compliance responsibilities proactively, training their people to understand their responsibilities and what makes racking safe, so they protect people, production and reputations. When you train your people, safety and racking longevity goes up, while risk and cost come down. We are ROSPA assured too.
Our achievements and future plans
In warehouse racking, SEMA (the Storage Equipment Manufacturers’ Association) is the last word in compliance. But there are only around 160 SEMA-approved racking inspectors (SARIs) on the planet. Around three per cent of them work for us.
That level and concentration of industry expertise is a real rarity. It’s why so many clients trust our compliance inspections and training, and it’s a major area of growth.
Why we like doing business in Chorley
Chorley is so well connected. For more than 25 years our Chorley base has made it easy to access our customers across the North West and beyond, and when those customers are visiting us for compliance training, we’re just a minute from the M61 and just ten minutes from the M6.
