Hello, Tuesday is when we round-up the best of our planning stories from the last week. Preston's city living vision is looking up again after the unveiling of plans for two more apartment towers on its ever-changing skyline. A scheme for 469 flats and maisonettes on the former Dryden Mill site at the junction of Manchester Road and Queen Street has been revealed. The development will see a former mill site, currently used as a temporary car park, transformed into a swish neighbourhood with six blocks of varying heights - one of them 16-storeys tall This week we’ve also been down to another 16-storey block and checked on the latest at at Bhailok Court. The new landmark building will house 200 flats near to the city’s bus station. Elsewhere, Aldi has confirmed plans to open a brand new store in Penwortham. The retailer is currently looking around Penwortham for a site suitable for development as it continues its expansion across Lancashire. We’ve also got news of a controversial scheme to renovate a once-grand Victorian country house which is back before Preston planning chiefs. Developers of the £10m scheme to create a headquarters for a local utilities company want to build a two-storey extension adjoining Larches House in Ashton.
