PROPERTY REPORT
LOOKING TO BUILD MOMENTUM A range of proposed developments across Lancashire hold the key to regeneration, job creation and economic growth.
In this special report we look at some of the schemes and projects sitting on the drawing board, heading to the planning stage or poised to get underway and we assess the impact they could have for the county.
HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
By Ged Henderson
Work is underway to move forward several major strategic developments planned across Lancashire.
The schemes are being advanced to enable the county’s future growth, levelling up and regeneration plans and bring with them the prospect of thousands of new jobs, increased skills and investment.
The county council says it is currently proactively working with a wide range of public and private sector partners to deliver regionally, nationally and internationally significant schemes and develop new innovation opportunities within these major strategic sites and key infrastructure programmes.
Major projects the county council is working on include: • Lancashire Central strategic employment site • Farington cricket project • Preston Station Quarter Regeneration Framework • South Lancaster Growth Catalyst • Eden Project North • Samlesbury Enterprise Zone
Aidy Riggott, cabinet member for economic development and growth at County Hall, says: “Our pipeline of major projects across the county has an estimated value of more than £20bn.
“We’re working in partnership to create high-quality strategic development sites and developing our infrastructure to meet future business needs, as well as unlocking opportunities for new, emerging sector clusters.
“Several projects are at the forefront of supporting activity in innovation and technology, and many are being delivered right now.
“We’re working collaboratively with public and private sector partners, including our district council colleagues to help them to deliver their strategic objectives, as well as our own.
“We also recognise the importance of the zero-carbon agenda, so we’re working with our partners to explore and deliver innovation opportunities. We’re also working to shape the future for Lancashire’s population with wellbeing and social value forming a key part of our work.”
The Preston Station Quarter Regeneration Framework sees the council working with Preston City Council and the University of Central Lancashire to develop a framework to help landowners and developers by providing a more joined-up guide to future development.
It sets out a blueprint for how this area of the city could be developed to bring jobs and growth. The aim is to develop a significant volume of offices and new commercial and educational opportunities, as well as new housing.
Alongside improved connectivity and infrastructure, the framework also aims to create new landscaping and a high-quality public realm to improve the station quarter as a place to live, work and visit.
