The council said it is willing to consider making alterations to the design of the Lancashire Central development
Lancashire County Council says it is willing to consider making changes to a major industrial, retail and leisure development in order to accommodate plans for a new Royal Preston Hospital. It comes after the NHS last week announced that it had bought land in the Farington area of South Ribble on which it wants to build the new state-of-the-art health facility.
Local Democracy Reporting Service analysis of maps provided both as part of the planning application for the Lancashire Central development and produced by the NHS, to show the proposed location of the hospital, indicates that the health facility will wholly occupy the Brookhouse land – although neither the company nor the NHS has confirmed any sale agreement between the two.
In a statement to the LDRS referring to the proposed locations for both the new Royal Preston and a replacement for the Royal Lancaster Infirmary, Lancashire County Council leader Phillippa Williamson said: “These new hospitals should make a real difference to health services in the county, offering the very latest facilities. In the background, we have been working closely with our NHS partners as they have considered potential sites for these two new hospitals.
