Andy Garnett, former co-founder and director of MCI Developments, has launched Breck, a property development venture based in Blackpool and is actively seeking investment and development opportunities across the North West.

A 26,000 sq ft supermarket is to be built on the site of the former Bay Leaf Indian restaurant off Liverpool Road after the housing secretary decided not to call in the application.

The housebuilding arm of Anwyl Group has completed the acquisition of the plot from Crompton Property Developments for an undisclosed sum to bring forward almost 300 homes as part of the 182-acre Yew Tree Farm development in Burscough, West Lancs.

Edward Roberts Court has reopened in the middle of the Bailrigg Campus after locally based Askam Civil Engineering completed the refurbishment.

Developer Monte Blackburn's 1m sq ft industrial park is almost complete, with a planning application for the final 275,000 sq ft plot due for submission in September.

Bolton Regeneration, a joint venture between Beijing Construction Engineering Group International and Midia, has drawn up plans for its £250m regeneration of Crompton Place Shopping Centre and is preparing to submit them to the council.

The council is considering a range of joint venture options with developers to bring forward the creation of a “super-connected digital city” as part of its £1.5bn town centre regeneration.

The final phase of a long-running redevelopment of the 45-acre former Bickershaw Colliery site in Leigh has been given the green light by planners. 

Lancaster City Council has agreed to let the site earmarked for the £85m Morecambe leisure attraction to operator Eden, enabling the scheme to move forward.
