August 2016 1. Introduction This study forms part of the evidence base for the Wyre Local Plan. It details research undertaken by the Wyre council planning policy team into the role and function of the borough’s settlements, describing why this work has been undertaken, the methodology used and the results. Understanding the nature of different settlements and the relative roles they can play is critical to developing and delivering local plan strategy and individual policies. With this in mind, the aim of this Settlement Study is two-fold. First, to establish a baseline position in terms of understanding the level of economic and social infrastructure present in each settlement and how this might influence the appropriate nature and scale of development. It will provide evidence for discussions with stakeholders and developers about the nature of supporting infrastructure needed to ensure that future development is sustainable. Second, to identify, analyse and rank the borough’s settlements according to a range of indicators, and by doing so to inform the definition of the local plan settlement hierarchy (see Section 3 below).

The Government is pursuing a number of policies and initiatives that aim to empower local communities and give citizens the opportunity to help shape decisions about the way public services are designed and delivered to them. As part of this agenda the Government recognises that democratically elected town and parish councils - the most local tier of local government - can play a key role in meeting this aim.

  • Market Area Report for West Lancashire
    RE-PRICING OF 12 MONTH MOORING PERMITS 2012 MARKET AREA REPORT FOR WEST LANCASHIRE Introduction This report provides the rationale for mooring price decisions for 2012. For explanation of the method and relevant policy, please see our overview report at www.britishwaterways.co.uk/media/documents/Moorings_Report_Overview_Report.pdf. Profiles of privately operated sites in the area are appended. We researched and compared their prices with the BW rates to inform our judgements but because the date is commercially sensitive this has not been included. Local market overview The Lancaster Canal has a fairly clearly defined market for moorings. It is the north-western extremity of the BW network from Preston to Tewitfield, running through the popular locations of Garstang, Lancaster and Carnforth. Although accessible to the rest of the network via the Ribble Link which is seasonal (April to October), the large majority of boaters do not use it and confine their cruising to the Lancaster. The moorings in Glasson Basin accommodate sea going craft and serve the coastal as well as inland boating market. The BW directly managed sites in the area are as follows Site name Site capacity (berths) Salwick Wharf 13 Stone Chimney Wharf 5 Pendle 24 Bilsborrow Wharf 11 Dimples Bridge 20 Tythe Barn Garstang 14 Moss Lane (South) 11 Moss Lane (North) 21 Montgomeries Wharf 6 Cabus Nook 8 Ratcliffe Wharf 11 Lodge Hill Galgate 4 Hest Bank 22 Bolton Le Sands 3 Tewitfield 3 Glasson Arm 9 Glasson Basin 1 Total capacity 186 West Lancs 2012 Page 1 of 6 Supply assessment In addition to these BW long term moorings, there are a total of 152 online and 768 offline basin or marina moorings in the same area; this includes the marinas at Barton Grange and Tewitfield.

  • Economic Dev Strategy and A
    Plan for Fylde - Plan for the Future Fylde Council Fylde Local Plan Publication VersionEconomic Development June 2016Strategy and Action Plan Fylde Local Plan to 2032 – Publication version Preface Fylde consists of the classic seaside resort towns of Lytham and St Annes, the historic market town of Kirkham and the urban centres of Wesham, Warton and Freckleton; together with large areas of countryside and picturesque rural settlements. The Local Plan identifies the settlement hierarchy for Fylde at the end of the plan period in 2032. It is a destination in its own right for leisure, culture and tourism. Fylde is also an important part of the Lancashire economy – containing regionally significant business sectors including BAE Systems at Warton, (part of the internationally and nationally important Lancashire Advanced Engineering and Manufacturing Enterprise Zone), Blackpool Airport and its associated Enterprise Zone and the Westinghouse Springfields (Salwick) nuclear processing plant. It is vital that we manage, guide and encourage development within Fylde to meet the identified needs and aspirations of our local communities. The Local Plan identifies four Strategic Locations for Development which will be the focus for the level of housing development and economic growth required in Fylde up to the end of the plan period. The four Strategic Locations are: Lytham and St Annes; Fylde – Blackpool Periphery; Warton; and Kirkham and Wesham. To accommodate the level of development proposed, the Local Plan includes a masterplan policy for all of the Strategic Locations to ensure that new development on strategic sites is planned and delivered in an effective manner.
