The Preston Council Leaders blog says\u00a0the Planning Committee will be sitting on Wednesday’s 8th and 15th of July to assess the Tithebarn planning application.<\/p>\n
I have\u00a0some\u00a0doubts although overall it sounds good enough.<\/p>\n
Liverpool One cost about \u00a31bn which is about 40% more than Prestons \u00a3700m. It’s size\u00a0is about 42 acres compared with\u00a0 32 acres for Preston which is about 30% more.\u00a0 So Prestons development is cheaper per acre, if that means anything. I’ve read that Liverpool One had some\u00a0cost overruns although the figures I’ve seen quoted\u00a0aren’t that clear and are around 10% which doesn’t seem overly excessive.<\/p>\n
The Leader of Preston Councils blog says the developers have assured the council it will be available and suitable for the Guild Celebration. I guess there is a risk but that part of Preston didn’t feature much in the Guild I didn’t think except for the bus station and car park. A shuttle bus service from a car park on\u00a0Moor Park might be needed. Is that in the budget?<\/p>\n
Shame about the old bus station it’s a unique and impressive building to look at, although I recall when I used it I thought it was hard to access and you couldn’t see the bus destination boards. Reversing buses didn’t seem such a good idea either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
