The appeal is made by Mr Wylie (TAS Limited) against Wyre Borough Council. The application Ref 17/00745/FULMAJ is dated 4 August 2017. The development proposed is the erection of a three storey residential care home for use within Use Class C2. Decision 1. The appeal is allowed and planning permission is granted for the erection of a three storey residential care home for use within Use Class C2 at Former site of Lakeland View, Laidleys Walk, Fleetwood, Lancashire FY7 7JL in accordance with the terms of the application, Ref 17/00745/FULMAJ, dated 4 August 2017, subject to the following conditions set out in the attached schedule. Procedural Matters 2. The appeal is against the non-determination of the application for the development detailed above. However, the Council has explained that, had it determined the application, it would have refused planning permission for three reasons. Two relate to the living conditions of existing residents, and the other to the increase in traffic and the effect of this upon the safety of pedestrians and road users. 3. The description of development in the heading above has been taken from the planning application form. However, I have removed the last sentence as it is unnecessary. 4. Policies CDMP3 and CDMP6 of the Wyre Council Submission Draft Local Plan are referred to in the submitted reasons for refusal. The purpose of a Local Plan examination is for the Examiner to consider whether the plan is ‘sound’. Accordingly, it is possible that a policy could be amended or deleted as a result of the examination or that the plan is withdrawn or found unsound. As these policies have not yet been examined, little weight can be given to them. 5. An additional plan (drawing No A109) has been presented with the appeal that sets out accurate measurements of interface distances between the buildings surrounding the site and the proposal. The Council has raised no comment on this plan. As there are no changes to the proposal, I am satisfied that no party https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 3 Appeal Decision APP/U2370/W/17/3192023 would be disadvantaged by me taking account of this plan in my overall consideration of the appeal. Main Issues 6. Based upon the evidence before me, the main issues are the effect of the proposal on: i) the living conditions of existing occupiers of nearby residential dwellings; and, ii) the safe and efficient operation of the highway network in the vicinity of the appeal site. Reasons 7. The site is a flat, open, rectangular parcel of land located to the north of Fleetwood. It is relatively undeveloped, save for an electricity substation. The site was historically occupied by a residential care home and the area is residential in character. Laidleys Walk is typically characterised by a mixture of 2, 3 and 4 storey buildings. Directly to the rear of the site are a number of 2 storey semi-detached residential dwellings, specifically 5-8 Malcolm Place and 62 and 64 Macbeth Road. 8. The proposal is for a 3 storey residential care home. It would provide 80 bedrooms and associated facilities. First and second floor bedroom windows and communal lounge windows of the proposal would be sited in both the front and rear elevations. The building would front northwards on Laidleys Walk, overlooking the model yacht pond and coast line. Living conditions 9. When measured directly from the rear wall of the dwellings on Malcolm Place and Macbeth Road to the rear wall of the proposal, the evidence before me indicates the interface distances between the building and the dwellings would be around 28m at a minimum. The Council advise the distances would be in excess of 21m. The advised interface distances vary. However, as the existing dwellings to the rear are off-set and sited at varying positions around the cul- de-sac of Malcolm Place or on Macbeth Road, the location of the interface measurements could have taken place at various positions. 10. Nonetheless, the building would be to the north and thus would not adversely affect light to dwellings. Furthermore, whilst the building would have an elongated and tall form; this would be broken up by stepped elevations, varying materials and breaks in the roof line. These design features would reduce its perceived mass. 11. Taking account of these matters and the observations from my visit; I am satisfied that the separation between buildings would be sufficient to ensure adequate living conditions of the existing occupiers were maintained with regard to privacy, light and physical dominance.
