A major update for the project has revealed that plans will likely be submitted this summer and if approved will see ground being broken on the project early next year.
The application has cost more than £1M to put together and according to Eden Project North architect Tim Narey, the project could be ready to break ground in January 2022. He said: “We are marching quite quickly towards getting the planning application into the council this summer. Because of the complexity of this application we have to do an environmental impact assessment, we like that we have to do it because it teaches about all the amazing things in Morecambe we may not have known about before.”
Eden Project North is a unique and ambitious project that seeks to reimagine the seaside resort for the twenty-first century. Morecambe’s motto during its tourism heyday was ‘Beauty Surrounds and Health Abounds’. The project has far-reaching environmental, social and economic ambitions, but above all it will be a day out that inspires a sense of wonder and connection with the natural world.
Eden Project North is expected to open in 2024 and is projected to attract around one million visitors a year.
