Amounderness House currently stands empty Pic: Paul Swarbrick Plans have been unveiled for a radical revamp of the former Preston magistrates’ court build
L-R: Nik Puttnam, Senior Development Manager, Maple Grove Developments, Julie Palmer, Regeneration Manager, Preston City Council, Councillor David Borrow, Executive Member for Planning and Regulation, Adrian Phillips, Chief Executive, Preston City Council, and Christian Lincoln, Sales Director, W_rkspacewill plough £7.4m into making the vacant building fit for its new-found purpose.
Details of the proposed transformation have now emerged in two planning applications that have been submitted by – and to – the city authority in order to get the permission needed to carry out the extensive works. The property was originally constructed in 1857 as a police station with holding cells, before being extended in 1901.
The 19th and early 20th century elements of the building will be retained and “sensitively redeveloped”, the planning application states. That will include any necessary restoration or repairs. The overhaul will endeavour to retain “the form and features of the historic building fabric, wherever possible”.
