Lancashire City Council has approved plans for the building of the Eden Project North. The £125m attraction is to be located in the seaside town of Morecambe.
The Eden Project, which is based in Cornwall, hopes the destination will be open to the public in 2024.
Reports states that the council voted in favour of the building of the site, which will “combine exhibits, performance, learning, play, immersive experiences, world-class horticulture, live music, art, food, beverage and retail space.”
The project will create hundreds of local jobs.
Eden Project North is forecast to pull in up to a million visitors every year, as the planning application stated.
According to a spokesperson for the project, the site will have “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.”
