Examining the case for free parking in PrestonCouncillors will be advised by town hall planning officials to approve the proposed redevelopment of the Goosnargh Golf Club site when they consider a blueprint for the disused facility next week.
“Although this site has been very cleverly labelled by the applicants as ‘derelict’, prompting visions of an industrial wasteland rather than the overgrown, beautiful green space – filled with trees, running water and deer accompanied by views of Beacon Fell – that it actually is, it is unlikely the decision-makers in this instance will be worried, as it’s not on their doorstep.
A report to be presented to councillors notes that a Central Lancashire-wide planning strategy provides for “the principle of allowing caravan and camping uses on appropriate sites and with a proven demand”. “Inglewhite Road, already a fast road which takes traffic from Preston to Longridge and cannot be widened without infringing on countryside and hedgerow, will inevitably become a death trap as speeding cars meet manoeuvring caravans entering and leaving the site . With no pavements, pedestrians – including any tourists venturing from the site and seeking a nice walk – will face risking their lives.
Councillors will be told of landscaping plans for the plot that will include “large areas of mixed-species woodland tree planting” to bolster those existing young trees which would be retained, beyond the large swathes of them that will have to be removed from the site. If councillors do approve the proposal, it will be with the caveat that they delegate authority to the Director of Development and Housing at the city council to consider any further representations that are received.
