The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the answer of 13 October 2025, to Question 77627, on Eden Project: Morecambe, and with reference to the Eden Project North, what is the latest timetable for the completion of the project according to information held by his department.

Answered by Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government

Following the Government's funding simplification reforms, the Levelling Up Fund was consolidated into the Local Regeneration Fund, which honoured all previous commitments. Lancaster City Council have been awarded up to £50 million for the Eden Project North.

The Government award is not dependent on match funding. An assessment of wider project funding was undertaken as part of the approval of the business case to ensure project deliverability.

Based on the latest information held by MHCLG, Lancaster City Council forecast that the Eden Project North will complete in October 2028.
