Summary of Reasons for Approving Planning Permission

Fylde Borough Council has considered the proposed development in the context of the Development Plan, together with all relevant material considerations. The local planning authority considers that planning permission ought to be granted for the reasons summarised below. A full copy of the report which addresses all relevant considerations, is available on request to the local planning authority.

The proposal involves residential development on a site that is located within the designated Countryside at Westby, but lies adjacent to two sites with planning permission for residential development and opposite the Whitehills Business Park.

The residential development of Countryside land is contrary to Policy SP2 of the Fylde Borough Local Plan, and so would normally be resisted. However, in this case there have been a series of recent approvals for residential development of the adjoining land with these amounting to at least 111 dwellings. The 14 dwellings proposed in this application are therefore a relatively minor extension to the area of built development and with the location of the application site alongside and between these sites and the existing Business Park there will not be any significantly harmful impact on the character of the countryside as a whole.

The development will make a contribution to reducing the borough’s housing supply shortfall and will also provide affordable housing and public open space in line with the rates sought in the Fylde Borough Local Plan and Interim Housing Policy.

These material considerations are considered to be of sufficient importance to outweigh the conflict with Policy SP2 of the Fylde Borough Local Plan and so the application is recommended for approval subject to a s106 agreement that will secure appropriate contributions towards improving the sustainability of the site and a series of conditions.

Informative notes:

1. This consent requires the construction, improvement or alteration of an access to the public highway. Under the Highways Act 1980 Section 184 the County Council as Highway Authority must specify the works to be carried out. Lancashire County Council as Highway Authority will carry out these works at the developer's expense and therefore before any access works can start you must contact the Environment Directorate for further information by telephoning 0845 0530011 or writing to Lancashire County Council Customer & Business Support, Palatine Hall, Dalton Square, Lancaster LA1 1PW quoting the planning application number.
