Cottam Meadow is a new development on
Dunnock Lane, Preston
The HCA owns the site – the largest in the Preston, South Ribble &
Lancashire City Deal Working with developers Barratt
Homes
The City Deal is ensuring that the local area continues to grow
by addressing strategic transport infrastructure & development challenges to deliver
new jobs and housing
The deal will generate 20,000+ jobs,
17,420 new homes and
nearly 1m sqm of extra commercial floor space
over the next 10 years
The first 104 homes out of a total 1,100 units are now completed
It’s the first new housing in the area for over 15 years
There will be a mix of 3&4 bedroom homes
available through Help to Buy plus a part-exchange scheme
21 new affordable homes are also planned
The development has been awarded a Built for Life commendation This shows it has addressed 12 key design issues ensuring that the new homes & surrounds are as attractive, functional & sustainable as possible
It is also a Homezone scheme, signalling its
focus on well-designed highways and site layout
“Unlocking publicly-owned sites to speed up the delivery of housing is a key priority for us at the HCA…the scheme demonstrates that we are able to provide valuable, targeted
support to bring forward new developments that will play a
vital role in helping the City Deal to meet its ambitions.”
Mark Vaughan HCA Senior Area Manager Lancashire & CumbriaNorth West
“Cottam Meadow is a visionary development for us. It’s one of the first sites in the country to be awarded the new design standard, ‘Built for Life’ – that means we are not just building homes to the highest standards, but we are creating great places to live.
As part of that, I am delighted that Barratt has also contributed
£135,000 to help establish a cycleway and improve local play areas.”
