The first planning report for Eden Project North in Morecambe has been submitted to Lancaster City Council.

The proposed £85-million development is expected to attract more than three-quarters-of-a-million visitors a year .

It's being seen as key to the economic future of the resort.

Eden Project North would have a 4,000-capacity outdoor arena designed for live music and entertainment.

The report reveals that buildings will have a maximum height of 37.3 metres, no taller than the adjacent Grade II* listed Midland Hotel. The Eden Project North proposals aim to respect the setting of the hotel and the nearby Grade II* listed Winter Gardens as well as enhancing Morecambe’s conservation area.

The project is due to open in spring 2023, following a two-year construction period.
