The builders are now working away but the development nearly didn’t happen.

Preston City Council’s planning committee originally refused the application in June 2012, but it was overturned by the planning inspector in October the same year.

It had been rejected by councillors due to fears over increased traffic on Blackpool Road, although the planning inspector found nothing from the county council’s highways department to support this.
