Members of the city council found that the size scale, massing and design for the new building was "out of character" with the village of Broughton.

Designs from agent PWA Planning show that building for the retirement apartments would have been three storeys high.

The city council was sent 131 objections by residents with Wyre and Preston North MP Ben Wallace, Broughton Parish Council and city coun Neil Cartwright also against the plans.
