Redrow seeks time extension for 130 Preston homes

Current approval will expire in June before the developer can complete the purchase of land, carry out pre-conditions, and start on site.

Outline permission was granted three years ago for up to 200 homes on the 23-acre site off Tabley Lane.

Reserved matters which included ringfencing four-acres of land for a primary school, and establishing noise mitigation measures, were approved a few months later.

Due to nearing the expiry date, Redrow has submitted a fresh application to the city council which covers appearance, landscaping, layout and scale, seeking a two-year extension to the permission.

This tranche of homes would mark the next phase of a larger 330-home scheme which has been in development for more than a decade.

The development is comprised of 115 four-bedroom detached houses and 15 three-bedroom detached homes, including driveways and garages with each property.

There will also be nearly six acres of public open space, including a playground.

The project team working on these reserved matters includes Trevor Bridge Associates, Turley, Lees Roxburgh, Urban Green, Hepworth Acoustics and RJP.
