Plans to build a northern version of the Eden Project as part of an ambitious £125m project to revitalise a seaside resort have been given the green light.
Council chiefs in Lancashire approved plans for the site on Morecambe seafront which is hoped will attract around a million visitors and create around 400 jobs.
Lancaster City Councillors voted in favour of the project at a crunch meeting today (Monday, January 31) after hearing submissions that the Eden Project North would be 'transformative'.
