Barton Grange Garden Centre hopes to begin construction of a brand new Garden Centre and Marina in early 2007. The new development will be built at Brock, just north of Preston and 5 mins from the current Garden Centre site at Barton..

As well as the Garden Centre and 80-berth marina, the development will include a chandlery, restaurant, garden park and crazy golf course. Planning permission has also been given for a hotel on the site.

Demolition of the existing buildings on the site has already taken place. Guy Topping MD of Barton Grange Garden Centres, says: "There are still many details to be worked up and planning conditions to be satisfied which is why buliding will have to wait until next year."

The restaurant, crazy golf course and chandlery are scheduled to be built soon after the first phase is completed, while the hotel is for future years. A new roundabout will be built on the A6 at the entrance to the development.

The new Garden Centre will be one of the biggest in the UK with its own restaurant and cafe, and a retractable roof over the outside sales area.
