It is considered that the proposal would not have a detrimental impact upon the amenities of nearby residential properties and will meet the criteria laid down in the policy. Members are recommended to grant planning permission subject to conditions. Reason for Reporting to Committee The views of the Town Council raise concern tantamount to an objection and the officer recommendation is one of approval. Site Description and Location This application relates to and existing HMO property (House in Multiple Occupation) within the settlement of Lytham St Annes. The converted town house is on the seaward side of St David’s Road South, St Annes in the block between the old telephone exchange (now BT premises) and the railway line end of Hove Road. This property is terraced being one of a group of four properties located south of Hove Road, on the westerly side. It is three storeys in height and is in use as a house in multiple occupation. These properties have rear wings (or annexes) either two or three storeys in height; this particular property has a rear annex of three storeys. The rear facades of the properties are set back and contain windows to serve the main body of the houses. The rear of these properties is tightly developed and is located at right angles to the rear of the properties fronting Hove Road. 3 Details of Proposal It is proposed to upgrade this property and a part of this proposal is one of adding a three-storey rear extension to the existing rear wing. The projection would be one metre depth and contain kitchen or kitchen/dining areas at each level. The extension would be faced in brick and incorporate a pitched roof. Relevant Planning History Application No. Development Decision Date 06/0514 THREE STOREY REAR EXTENSION Refused 02/08/2006 Relevant Planning Appeals History None Parish Council Observations St Anne's on the Sea Town Council (notified on 25 January 2007) Summary of Response Concerned about possible loss of light to adjoining building No details of bathroom facilities have been indicated for flat 2 Officer note: the floor layout is not shown in its entirety on the submitted plans and a bathroom is to be included in the accommodation. In any event, any lack of bathroom would be a matter for the Council's Housing authority and is not a material planning consideration. Statutory Consultees N/A Observations of Other Interested Parties None received Neighbour Observations Neighbours notified: by standard notification letter: sent and hand delivered to all occupiers of flats and houses in the 'L' shaped block No. of Responses Received: None Relevant Planning Policy Joint Lancashire Structure Plan: JS02 Main Development Locations Fylde Borough Local Plan: SP01 Development within settlements HL05 House extensions and incidental buildings Other Relevant Policy: 4 PPS1: Delivering Sustainable Development Environmental Impact Assessment This development does not fall within Schedule I or II of the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (England and Wales) Regulations 1999 as amended. Comment and Analysis This property is presently used as an HMO and is in a poor state of repair both internally and externally. Under new ownership it is proposed to upgrade the units. This includes the provision of a one metre depth rear extension to the present rear wing of the property to produce a total projection of some 5.5 metres. It is not proposed to introduce new units but provide each one with additional floorspace. The rear of the properties are tightly spaced with rearward annex projections creating deep ‘well’ areas which serve windows to the adjoining properties. In addition, in this case, the rear wing has an impact on the properties contained within the corner of St. David’s Road South and Hove Road. The occupiers of the flats of the adjacent property that have a window on the rear elevation do not receive full sunlight to that window in the later part of the day because the outrigger of no. 50 (the element that would be extended) blocks some of the afternoon sunlight. The 1 metre projection increase would in effect, bring the sun light block-out time a little earlier. However the other half of the 'L' shaped block of the joined terrace building, the properties on the southeast side of Hove Road, blocks much of the late sun and the rear aspect for no. 52 has never been advantageous for the occupiers of those flats. This situation, together with the proposal's benefit of improving the housing stock is considered to result in a net acceptable development. The proposal projects from the building less than the previously refused application, an amendment which is considered to have overcome the previous reason for refusal. The new first floor window on the side elevation serving a lounge/kitchen for flat 4 could present an overlooking issue to the rear private amenity space of properties to the north / west (48 St David’s Road South, 14, 12 and 10 Hove Road in particular) and a condition of any planning permission is necessary to ensure that window is obscure glazed and fixed shut to protect the amenities of those residential properties from harmful loss of privacy to an undue extent.

  • THE FLAX MERCHANTS of KIRKHAM F. J. Singleton, B.A
    THE FLAX MERCHANTS OF KIRKHAM F. J. Singleton, B.A. During the eighteenth century the Fylde was an expanding agri­ cultural district sometimes called the granary of Lancashire. By producing large quantities of grain it helped to feed the growing industrial population of a county which in 1795, according to John Holt, could support itself for only a few weeks in the year.1 Progressive landlords like the Cliftons of Lytham found corn growing profitable and increased its production by reclaiming large areas of moss and marsh. The landscape became dotted with windmills whose produce, mainly oatmeal, the staple food of the poorer classes, found its way to the markets at Preston and elsewhere. The Napoleonic Wars gave further impetus to these developments and in 1817 Vicar Webber of Kirkham, after noting the great improvement in agriculture throughout the Fylde in the last fifty years described it as 'a very fine corn country.'2 But while agriculture took pride of place and the Fylde as a whole escaped industrialisation, there was nevertheless a measure of mercantile activity and domestic industry especially in and around the urban centres of Poulton and Kirkham. When Hutton visited Blackpool in 1788 the coastal develop­ ment which we know today had hardly begun.3 Blackpool was then a mere handful of boarding houses approached by a maze of winding lanes. The chief town on the Fylde plain was Kirkham, followed by Poulton on the navigable Wyre, and during the eighteenth century groups of merchants in these towns became interested in the plantation and Baltic trades.

  • 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. The Publication version represents an important process in the preparation of the new Local Plan for Fylde.
