Preston car park set to be replaced with student accommodation at former city police headquarters
The new blueprint for the accommodation includes a gym, cinema room, landscaped roof terrace and communal and study spaces, while there would also be parking provided for 150 bicycles.
The majority of the trees surrounding the site - along Lawson Street and Walker Street - would be retained, although two would have to be removed on the latter in order to make way for a new pedestrian entrance. New landscape planting is proposed around the front of the plot and a “rain garden” is planned at the shared boundary with Lawson Halls, which would include wetland grasses and wildflowers
For objections have been lodged - including one which warns that the scheme could jeopardise the future development of a temporary surface-level car park at the junction of Walker Street and Sizehouse Street and another claiming that the proposed new buildings would interfere with the TV signal of residential properties in the area.
