Preston Animate cinema reaches highest point in construction– an exit that opened less than 12 months ago, connecting to the new Preston Western Distributor Road – was being eyed as a stop-off point by specialist operator Moto.If ultimately granted planning permission, the facility would become the first motorway service outlet in the vicinity of the city – and the only one on the M55.
As the Local Democracy Reporting Service revealed last year, the development would be accessed from a second roundabout to be created close to the one that links the M55 and the distributor road – now known as Edith Rigby Way – which runs through to the A583 at Riversway and Blackpool Road. Meanwhile, it is proposed that the size of the overall site grows even further than the built-up aspect – so that it spans 13.9 hectares in total. However, around four hectares of the broader plot would be to deliver “habitat enhancement”, with no built development proposed for that area.
Planning consultancy PWA Planning, on behalf of Moto, acknowledges in its submission to the city council that the site is currently “rural in character”, but adds: “Proximity to the new junction 2 development has altered character…to some extent, bringing an urbanising effect to the locality. It is not considered that the proposed development would give rise to significant environmental effects in landscape and visual terms.
