TSS Property has secured planning consent to build a 30-storey tower comprising 218 residential units in Preston.

Designed by David Cox Architects, the proposed scheme, which has been branded Altura, will be located near the Harris Quarter, between Lords Walk and Carlisle Street in Preston city centre.

The development will also feature 6,700 sq ft of commercial and office space, a communal lounge and gym and new public realm.

Steven Gallagher, from David Cox Architects, said: “As a Preston-based practice, we take great pride in contributing to a project of this ambition, which reflects both the city’s confidence and its aspirations for the future.”

Deborah Smith, from S&L Planning Consultants, which advised TSS Property on planning matters, added: “The project will deliver a highly sustainable, landmark development in a key city centre location, making efficient use of brownfield land while supporting economic growth, housing delivery and active travel.

“The approval of this project also reflects the collaborative work undertaken with Preston City Council to ensure the scheme responds positively to both planning policy and the city’s long-term regeneration ambitions. It will be fantastic to see this project come to fruition and help contribute to the evolving skyline of Preston.”
