Preston City Council could allow an eleven-storey tower to be built in the place of shops and a former nightclub.

A report prepared for the planning committee recommends that the plans be approved, stating: “The principle of the proposed development is acceptable and, would not result in any unacceptable impacts upon highway safety, nor on visual amenity or residential amenity.
