The Blackpool Gazette writes:
The council’s planning committee is being recommended to approve an application for the scheme, previously known as the multiversity…
….the campus will be known as University Centre Blackpool (UCB)….
While some concerns are raised about the scale of the proposed buildings, planners say development will improve the neighbourhood “subject to a high-quality design”…
… Planners acknowledge the amount of parking is insufficient but say this would be compensated for by public transport links…
