Former Preston golf club set for 164 houses
Anwyl Homes has submitted plans to build a neighbourhood of two- to five-bedroom residences on 25 acres of green space off Tanterton Hall Road.
The site, part of the former Ingol Golf Club, is designated as a major area of open space in the Preston Local Plan. However, Preston City Council had approved a now-expired outline residential development on the plot in 2018.
The wider golf club site has already been redeveloped into homes by Bellway and Rowland Homes as a result of that earlier planning permission.
Anwyl’s ambitions for the site include building 164 homes, of which 50 would be affordable, installing a new junction with Tanterton Hall Road, and boosting biodiversity by 15.5%.
PWA Planning submitted the application on Anwyl’s behalf, with ERAP as the project ecologist, Weetwood handling flood risk, E3P dealing with geo-environmental issues, Eddisons leading on transport, and Award Energy Consultants tackling sustainability. James Royston is the project arboriculturalist.
You can learn more about the application by searching reference number 06/2024/0772 on Preston City Council’s planning portal.
This is pretty sad reading.
The value of the local plan is zilch then.

Trust me I am all for closing golf clubs – or “Privatised green space” as I like to call them. But I’d rather they were turned into public parks instead of major housebuilder slop estates

Where is the infrastructure for these developments? Schools are already overcrowded. And where is the care for the environment? Accessible open spaces are rapidly diminishing

At what point does Cottam grind to a halt? Whether it be roads, schools or surgeries. At some point it’ll fold in on itself and disappear with a pop. Who comes up with ‘boosting biodiversity by 15.5%’ whilst removing said biodiversity to build 164 homes? And who at Preston Council falls for it? That said the sooner that par 4 dogleg to the left hole 7 goes the better…

Who cares regarding existing residents concerns…..absolutely no one.
