The application was for improvements to Lune House and Derby House near the River Lune
A plan to upgrade two Lancaster blocks of flats - which are part of wider regeneration work and also the focus of political debate and some protests over affordable homes and council housing - has been approved at a city council planning meeting. But one councillor claimed councillors have been misled about the project.
Lancaster City Council has an interest in the development so the application was sent to councillors on the committee to consider. Historically, the two blocks were owned by Lancaster City Council. He said: “I disagree with the whole concept. We have been misled on this for far too long. They were actually sold last month.
"I think we’re building problems a few years down the line. Elsewhere, we have welcomed people going from flat roofs to other types. I support this scheme in principle but I have an issue with this roof element.” Green Coun Sally Maddocks asked if planned balconies overlooking new communal amenity areas could lead to anti-social behaviour. She added: “Can we put in a condition about CCTV cameras, to nip any issues in the bud? In licensing, we recently had to consider some anti-social behaviour issues in Skerton.”
