Controversial plans to install a 3G football pitch and build a new sports pavilion on Preston’s Ashton Park have cleared their final hurdle after being granted planning permission.
The facilities will form part of a £9.7m redevelopment of the Pedders Lane green space, which will also see the creation of six grass pitches and a 120-space car park. Preston City Council’s planning committee has approved the blueprint nine months after the public were first asked for their thoughts on it.
