It will definitely improve the aesthetic
More than 200 student flats are set to be built on part of Preston’s former divisional police headquarters.
The part of the plot where the new ‘studio apartments’ would be erected – 227 in total – is currently occupied by a multi-level public car park, accessed from Saul Street, which has been operated as a pay and display facility by Chorley-based Parking Eye for the last nine years. A report to be presented to committee members notes that the 2013 permission actually gave approval not only for the conversion of the former police building, but the erection of a new block on the car park. While that has never been implemented, it remains a live permission that the applicant could take advantage of at any time.
The new blueprint for the accommodation includes a gym, cinema room, landscaped roof terrace and communal and study spaces, while there would also be parking provided for 150 bicycles.
