Major step forward for new Preston railway station as planning application submitted
Plans to build a new railway station in Preston with the aim of improving access to travel, work and leisure have taken an important step forward.
"We've made some important changes to the design since we announced the plans. We've added native scrubs, trees and native species-rich grassland on a field near the station to provide an overall boost to biodiversity from this scheme and help wildlife, which will also give a 10% biodiversity net gain for the project.
It is also proposed that there will be electric charger points, a 'green' planted roof and solar panels on the railway station. The proposed mitigation includes planting to the south of the railway line between the Ashton and Lea golf course and the bridge at Darkinson Lane and of the railway cottages.
