Adopted Fylde Local Plan to 2032 Fylde Local Plan to 2032 Adopted 22 October 2018 Date: October 2018 Review Date: October 2023 Our Ref: FLP2032 Authorised by: Julie Glaister, Planning Policy Manager Fylde Local Plan to 2032 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. This version of the Local Plan has been produced for Adoption, as the principal document of the statutory Development Plan for the borough. It is the final result of a process of consultation that culminated in the Examination in Public under the direction of the Inspector, Mrs Yvonne Wright BSc(Hons) Dip TP MSc DMS MRTPI, on behalf of the Secretary of State. The document has been prepared following the results of previous public consultations on the Local Plan Issues and Options, the Preferred Option and the Revised Preferred Option (RPO) documents and by taking account of the information provided by the evidence base. Ultimately, the new Local Plan will directly or indirectly affect all residents, communities and businesses within the Borough. The Local Plan ensures that all who live in, work in or visit Fylde can look forward to the achievement of the Council’s Vision for Fylde in 2032.

OC/ACT/13/02036 – I am responding to your letter dated 9th August re the above and would be grateful if you would provide the Inspector dealing with the Local Plan Minority Group - Liz with copies of the two Minority Reports, prepared by councillors who are not members of the Conservative administration. I would be obliged if Oades you would confirm, in writing that this will be done. Most of the points my colleagues and I wish to make are contained in the two Minority Reports so I do not see any reason for repeating them. Since the Minority Reports were published submission documents have been prepared which were not available at that time, I then briefly outline below some comments and concerns in relation to some of the documents: Open Space Study Update and Playing Field Strategy. These are poor documents as much of the information within them is inaccurate, I think they are lazy studies and should be redone ensuring that the information is fully accurate. The education figures seem to be inaccurate and I believe that this needs to be revisited. At the Planning Policy meeting held in June there was a discrepancy noted in relation to the population figures within the documents, this should perhaps be looked at again? I look forward to receiving your response.
