Due to its city centre location, the site is in close proximity to public transportation sites such as Preston bus station and Preston Railway station. As well as bus spots along Friargate and taxi hire companies within the city centre.

The design and access statement covers that there will be a plan to make the building accessible for able bodied and disabled people:

“When designing and subsequently managing a development it is important that any particular problems are recognised and ways to remove any obstacles that may arise are sought in order that people can enjoy the facilities on offer to the full. Disabled people, as well as people with prams and push-chairs, young children and some elderly people, have particular difficulties in dealing with buildings designed for the able-bodied.”

“The advent of the Disability Discrimination Act requires buildings to be accessible to all. The design team have considered each element of the project and its specific usage in detail throughout the design phase facilitating accessibility integration. It is intended that DDA compliance is reviewed and recommendations implemented as the detailed design of the building progresses.”
