Councillors are set to consider a proposal to transform the Grade II-listed Harris Institute into an art gallery and conference center. The building, once an art school, has been idle for over a decade, attracting vandals and cannabis growers. The council's planning officers recommend approval for the project, which includes exhibition facilities, a co-working space, art shop, and cafe.
Plans to bring a piece of Preston ’s history back to life look set to get the go-ahead. Councillors will next week consider a bid to convert the Harris Institute into an art gallery and conference centre – and Preston City Council planning officers have recommended they approve the revamp. The Grade II-listed building – a one-time art school – has stood disused for a decade and has been targeted by both vandals and cannabis growers.
A report to be presented to a meeting of the city authority’s planning committee next Thursday advises members to grant permission for an overhaul that would also include the creation of exhibition facilities, a co-working space, art shop and cafe. Meanwhile, the neighbouring Regent House building would be converted into nine holiday lets.
They have asked the applicant, Harris Investment Group Limited, both to make amendments to their blueprint and also provide further information about some elements of it. Details will be shared with the committee at the meeting. No objections have been raised by members of the public or any organisations which were obliged to be consulted over the proposal.
