Lancaster City Council, landowner Mitchell’s, English Heritage and developer Centros have agreed to work together for the proposed Canal Corridor North development in Lancaster.

Following the Secretary of State’s decision in December to refuse planning permission for Centros’ initial plans for the scheme, the group has now agreed to work in partnership to take the “necessary steps to develop further the options for redeveloping the Canal Corridor site.”

A statement said: “Whilst all partners are committed to working to this aim, the city council will also be working with all other interested parties and will be consulting with the communities of the district, to ensure the early redevelopment of this important site within the city.

“Following the recent high court decision that has now been made regarding the judicial review, the city council is now in a position to continue its work in reviewing the Conservation Areas.”

It said this will assist in establishing the heritage values of the site that need to be taken into account in the development proposal.
