THESE stunning drone pictures give a bird's-eye-view of the new Frontier Park development off the M65.

Lancashire Telegraph Camera Club member Mark Cooper took the shots.

He said: “I wanted to show people the perspective of that area not seen before. It really is moving along very quickly.

“I think the jobs boost is important, and much needed.”

There are plans in place for a 150-bedroom hotel and conferencing and banqueting facilities on the site.

Euro Garages submitted an application for phase four of Frontier Park on land north of Blackburn Road, south of Whitebirk Drive and west of the motorway, near junction six.

The redevelopment of Frontier Park is under way with phase one being for the petrol station.

Phases two and three will start in the first quarter of 2018, which comprise industrial buildings, while hotel and banqueting facilities could start in the second quarter of this year, if approved.

Previously the Telegraph reported Frontier Park would bring 1,990 jobs to the area

In the design and access statement, it is claimed ‘the hotel will form a prominent gateway to the site and is set on the edge of the new water feature.

Work has already started on the site after plans were approved for industrial units together with a hot-food takeaway, pub or restaurant and petrol filling station.

The development is co-owned by Zuber and Moshin Issa, the founding partners of Euro Garages.
