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

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.”
