As we begin a new year there are big plans for our City. Investment in a new leisure complex will bring jobs, growth and a welcome boost for Preston and the surrounding areas
A
planning application for the city owned multi-millionpound cinema and leisure complex, Animate, has been lodged by Preston City Council. Since the scheme was first proposed, plans have progressed to improve the previously consented proposals and respond
to the current leisure market trends. The planning application includes an eight screen cinema; 16 lane bowling alley, competitive social unit (suitable for a range of uses), five family restaurants, a street food hub, public realm improvements, 164 space car park, a Changing Places’ facility and associated servicing arrangements.
Scale: NTS@A3 The Animate scheme aims to bring growth and development to the city centre, create a quality leisure destination to bring families back into Preston and make the city the ‘place to be’. As well as bringing in over £7million of extra economic activity every year while creating 140 full time equivalent jobs. This planning application has now been submitted to Preston City Council’s Planning Department. A period of consultation will be open to allow the public the opportunity to express their views on the proposed development.
