Three council's have pledged Central Lancashire will remain a place with “room to breathe” – even after the building of more than 25,000 new homes by 2041. Preston , South Ribble and Chorley councils made the pledge after they published one of the final drafts of The Central Lancashire Local Plan.
Under the proposed local plan – and following redistribution – the three districts will, in reality, be expected to deliver a fluctuating number of properties each year, based on a range of different considerations across the wider sub-region. Overall, between 2023 and 2041, the minimum requirements for each area will be, 9,360 homes in Preston, 8,280 in South Ribble and 6,015 in Chorley.
If the three councils give the go-ahead to publication of their joint local plan, a public consultation will begin on February 10. However, Preston and South Ribble have sufficient developable land in their own areas to accommodate Chorley’s unmet need – and have agreed to do so in order to ensure the collective housing target across the wider area is reached.
