Views wanted on 'once in a generation' plans for development in Heysham

Land near Imperial Road in Heysham

You can have your say on ambitious plans to transform land in Heysham into a high quality commercial site.

A public consultation has been launched on the proposals for the land near Imperial Road.

The project is a partnership between Lancaster City Council and Lancashire County Council.

"The proposals comprise new high-quality commercial buildings and associated landscaping that is well separated from the existing residential areas and complements the existing industrial landscape and nature reserve," says the project website.

"The allocation is a vital component of the Heysham Gateway area which is one of the 11 anchor strategic sites identified as transformational for the Lancashire economy in the Growth Plan and has the potential to provide significant new jobs."

Residents, businesses, and stakeholders are encouraged to have their say on the proposals at the website HERE.

"This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to turn dormant land into a vibrant, employment-generating business location that supports the future prosperity of Heysham and the wider district," said Councillor Martin Bottoms, cabinet member with responsibility for economic growth and regeneration at Lancaster City Council.

"We want local people to help shape these plans, and I encourage everyone to visit the consultation page and share their views."

The deadline for responses is May 28 and feedback will be used to refine the proposals before formal planning applications are submitted.
