Construction Trends in South Ribble
South Ribble's Leyland Town Deal is delivering around 38 million pounds of investment, including a new public square, commercial and residential development, and improvements to Leyland Market, with the former NFM Iddon's factory site on Quin Street cleared for 22 new homes. The council has also set aside 2 million pounds for a Penwortham Masterplan, funding neighbourhood centre works at Cop Lane and Leyland Road. Under the joint Central Lancashire Local Plan, South Ribble's minimum housing target is 460 homes a year, 8,280 over the plan period, with 20 sites allocated across the borough. Away from these schemes, established areas keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
