Changes planned for Lancashire Police HQ triple-decker car park & 9 other applications this week
The scheme will take 10 years to complete.
Bosses at Lancashire Constabulary are seeking to make alterations to their £75m headquarters redevelopment plan.
The 10-year scheme to overhaul both the Saunders Lane and Lindle Lane sites was approved in January 2024. Since then, an amendment has been passed to relocate some facilities and car parking spaces on the masterplan - and to add another level to the decked car park - making it three floors.
A further amendment over the decked car park has been validated with South Ribble Borough Council (SRBC) this week. It aims to alter the time frame for the phased work.
The force want to bring work forward on the decked car park ‘to enable the construction of other areas on site, mitigate the loss of car parking and reduce the impact on the surrounding neighbours’.
An planning statement to SRBC says: “The aim of the early delivery of decked car park is to provide Lancashire Constabulary with greater flexibility in delivering a high quality headquarters site which reflects how the organisation sees the future of modern policing within Lancashire.”
What will the car park be like?
The proposed decked car park is a three-storey building for 270 parking spaces including accessible, car sharing and motorcycle spaces with infrastructure for electrical vehicle charging externally. It is proposed for the decked car park to be a steel frame structure with concrete decks and stair towers. The proposed car park facade will have 50 per cent free area for natural ventilation, and the second floor will be fully open to air.
A decision on the amendment will be made in coming weeks.
