Preston docklands office-to-resi floated
Plans to convert part of Tustin Court overlooking Preston Marina into 51 flats have been put forward by the building’s landlord.
Tustin Developments, a privately owned Preston-based developer and investor headed up by managing director Andrew Roberts, has notified the city council of its intention to transform one of its office assets into apartments under permitted development rights.
Harbour House, let to Hexagon Care and the Community Gateway Association, is located next door as part of the same complex and is unaffected by the proposals.
According to plans drawn up by architect Eric Smith, the building’s ground, first, second, third, and fourth floors would be given over to flats.
The ground floor would have 14 flats, which would benefit from gardens. The first and second floors would accommodate 15 homes each. The third floor would have four flats and the fourth three.
In total there would be nine studios, eight one-bed flats, and 34 two-bed flats.
MWT Planning is also advising Tustin Developments, whose other assets include Red Scar Business Park and Robert House on Preston’s Winckley Square.

Im sure they’ll have a lovely view of the blue green algae, plus all the litter rubbish and foul smelling water to be found in The City of Prestons jewel in the CITIES crown.

Great, but would perhaps like it to have considered some ground floor alternative use – cafe, retail, work spaces etc – just to help it become a better destination and livelier waterside frontage. It’s crying out for it
