Preston City Council’s planning committee approved the scheme in the face of dozens of objections lodged with the authority
Residents of a Preston suburb have been left feeling like they were “not listened to” after plans for a neighbourhood centre in the area were given the green light. This was in the face of dozens of objections.
“In their view now, they feel like it doesn’t matter what they say, these things get through – which is wrong, it shouldn’t be like that. The best outcome would have been if had just been modified slightly – and then people would have felt that it was worth taking part in these conversations. He added: “At the first meeting that this application was considered, members deferred the application in order to carry out a site visit to assess the impact of the development. A deferral doesn’t guarantee that an application will be amended. It provided the opportunity for members to see the site for themselves, given the issues raised.
