Blackpool is seeking a development partner for a 90.4 million pound housing-led regeneration of Central Drive, expected to bring around 230 homes. This sits within the wider Central Housing Regeneration Area Framework, a 90 million pound Homes England-funded programme covering hundreds of affordable homes, including around 200 at Grange Park and a possible 100 on the former Rigby Road tram depot site. A separate 15.3 million pound Town Centre Access Scheme is improving the interchange and walking, cycling and bus access. Away from these schemes, established residential areas keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
Here's a breakdown of the most common types of construction projects in Blackpool over the past 30 days.
In Blackpool, Extensions are the most common project type, appearing in 3 of the 4 leads tracked in the last 30 days, with Garden Rooms also showing consistent demand alongside Loft Conversions. Projects can fall into more than one category, so these figures don't need to add up to the total.

Central Drive and the wider Central Housing Regeneration Area Framework are set to bring sustained new-build activity to Blackpool over the coming years. Away from these schemes, established residential areas across the town sustain a reliable flow of extension and loft conversion work.
Planning applications flag upcoming work early, so you can reach out before a shortlist of builders forms.
Approved applications can be particularly valuable because the project has cleared a major planning hurdle and may be moving closer to construction.
