The patch of land has been empty following demolition of a gas training centre in 2017 and before that withdrawn plans in 2008 wanted to build a mix of retail and apartments on the site, along with a new bar at ground-floor level.

Planning officers at Preston City Council have recommended the scheme for approval ‘subject to a Section 106 obligation being secured to provide a mechanism to allow the viability of the scheme to be reassessed, a minimum covenant of 30 years for the open market build to rent units and a clawback mechanism in the event any build to rent units are sold within the covenant period.”
