Former golf club homes plans set for approval



Detailed plans to build more than 150 homes at a former golf club in Preston could soon secure approval.

Rowland Homes wants to build 155 properties on a parcel of land within the former Ingol Village Golf Course site, in Tanterton Hall Road.

The housebuilder is seeking reserved matters approval for details of appearance, layout, landscaping and scale.

Access would be obtained from Tom Benson Way to the north, as approved under hybrid planning permission which has already been secured. This would also provide access for subsequent development parcels located to the south of the site.

The proposed houses would consist of a mix of detached, semi-detached and mews properties, including two, three and four-bedroom dwellings.

A total of 46 affordable homes are proposed.

Ingol Golf and Squash Club is an 18-hole golf course on approximately 173 acres of land.

The application is due to be reviewed by Preston City Council’s planning committee on Thursday (1 December).

A report prepared for the committee added: “The principle of developing the site for residential purposes, with vehicular access off Tom Benson Way, was established under hybrid planning application 06/2017/0757 and as a result of the amendments obtained it is considered the proposed layout, design and appearance of the development would be acceptable.

“The proposal would comply with the outline permission in terms of the amount of affordable housing, layout of the site and provision of open space.”
