Preston City Council leader Matthew Brown on Guild Hall, Preston Model, public scrutiny and moreA bid by Breck Homes to build 102 properties on land east of Sidgreaves Lane will be considered by members of Preston City Council’s planning committee next week – with planning officers recommending councillors approve the proposal.
The authority says eight places would be required for primary-age pupils, the cost of which would usually be covered by a charge on the developer known as the ‘community infrastructure levy’ . In the North West Preston area, CIL is funnelled through the Preston, South Ribble and Lancashire City Deal to fund the infrastructure needed for the ongoing expansion of that part of the city.
Committee members will be told the scheme is of “a contemporary design which would fit comfortably within existing development within the area”.
