Summary:
- Preston City Council has cast doubt on the future of a 227-flat student housing development planned on former police headquarters land, after refusing a car park application linked to the project and noting the developer has not confirmed progress.
- The site, adjacent to Lawson House student accommodation, was approved in 2023 for two new blocks of seven and nine storeys, designed to provide around 250 student studios with amenities including a gym and study areas.
- Liverpool-based Caro Developments, the project’s developer, has not responded to inquiries about the scheme, which was put on the market in December 2023 for £1.5 million despite existing planning permission valid until June 2026.
