Proposed New Development at Sandside

21st April 2026 Deadline For Comments On Amended Previously Proposed Development Plans at Sandside

Four years ago, a large development plan was proposed along the coast road at Sandside. The site includes the areas currently used by businesses along the road between the existing residential properties and The Ship Inn, as well as areas behind on Quarry Lane. The proposal was paused due to objections, however, it has now been re-submitted with some amendments to the original.

There is a very short deadline of 21st April 2026 for anyone to comment on the plan so, if you want to comment, you need to do it by Tuesday.

The application is for mixed use development including 160 residential units, restaurant/café and live/work units at land at Park Road and Quarry Lane, Sandside, Milnthorpe, LA7 7HW; Reference SL/2022/1177

The above includes three 4 storey blocks of flats, and a very modern design 5 story block with apartments on the ‘Waterfront’ part of the site – alongside the main road.
