A new planning application has been submitted to Lancashire County Council during 2022 by Lancashire County Council and their development partners Maple Grove Developments (part of the Eric Wright Group).
Subject to planning permission, the project will deliver over 1.7 million square feet of high quality floorspace. When fully occupied and depending on the final operators of the development, Lancashire Central could deliver up to 5,600 new jobs in addition to around 2,400 construction related jobs throughout the project.
The latest proposals will replace the existing permission (granted in 2017) to implement a new and updated vision for this key strategic employment site, which would deliver significant new local employment space for offices, research and development, industrial, storage and distribution uses. They could also include some commercial use including retail and food & drink outlets, as well as opportunities for a gym and/or crèche, health centre/pharmacy and leisure facilities.
Further information is available on the Lancashire Central website.
The marketing agents for the scheme are CBRE, B8, and Savills. Should you wish to find out more
