Caddick’s Farington logistics hub enters planning

The joint venture between Burnley Council and Barnfield Investment Properties has completed a 136-bed student accommodation scheme for occupation by the University of Central Lancashire.

Barnfield Blackburn, a joint venture between Barnfield Developments and Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council, has started work on an access road at its Mill Bank Business Park site off the M65.

The £41m first phase of Lancaster University's Health Innovation Campus has been completed by Bam Construction North West.

The housebuilder, part of Hurstwood Holdings Group, has won planning permission to redevelop a five-acre site in Newchurch into 30 homes.

The firm has been appointed as the main contractor to build the University of Sheffield’s advanced manufacturing research centre, part of the wider Lancashire Advanced Manufacturing and Energy Cluster.

The Lancashire branch of the Flintshire-based housebuilder has started building its 72-home scheme off Garstang Road north of Preston and work is due to complete by 2023. 

The Skelmersdale-based contractor fell into administration owing £11m to creditors because of the impact of Covid-19 and a string of "problem jobs", most notably Primesite Developments’ £40m The Rise scheme, which left CPUK with £3m of debt. 

The final phase of the university's 14,500 sq ft leisure complex has finished, a multi-sports centre for students and the local community.

The University of Central Lancashire’s 80,000 sq ft facility in Preston, part of a £200m masterplan, is due to complete next year, now main contractor Bowmer + Kirkland has finished the steel frame.
