A new housing development alongside the Preston Western Distributor Road has been given the go-ahead – just days after the new route opened.
Members heard that developer Bloor Homes had made a number of changes to their original plans in response to issues raised by the council and the public. The housebuilder’s agent for the proposal told the meeting that it was “important for the details to be right at this stage in the process”.The modifications included tweaks to some elements of the access, which committee member – and Lea and Larches ward councillor – David Borrow said he was pleased to see implemented.
The main access road to the Bloor Homes estate will run through the centre of the site from south to north, branching off to the east and west to serve the remainder of the plot, which will have a “relatively linear street layout”, according to planning documents.
