Anwyl Homes Lancashire applied in August 2024, to Preston City Council for permission to redevelop almost 27 acres of land that was previously part of Ingol Golf Course. Preston City Council's planning committee unanimously approved the application in February.

A Section 106 agreement to provide investment in the local community, which includes a contribution of more than £700,000 towards primary education and obligations on local employment skills and biodiversity net gain, was recently agreed, and now details of the ecology on site have been revealed.
