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.

    From: To: A585 Windy Harbour to Skippool Subject: A585 Windy Harbour to Skippool Improvement Scheme - (TR010035) Date: 17 May 2019 23:14:17 Attachments: Head of Planning Services Letter.pdf Windy Harbour Junction.pdf River Wyre Flooding.pdf Flood Barriers.pdf Our Reference : 20021754 FLEETWOOD RENEWABLE ENERGY ENTERPRISE 2007 A585 Windy Harbour to Skippool Improvement Scheme Dear Sir We are concerned that the above Scheme will not improve communication to Fleetwood which have become progressively worse following the Fleetwood and Thornton Area Action Plan. It seems to us that greater use can be made of the River Wyre which is an asset of huge benefit for the area and the reason for the Town being built. It could now be used to reduce traffic congestion over a wide area and managed to prevent flooding whilst producing renewable energy. We trust that in preparing your report for road improvements you will take all these benefits into consideration. Introduction The Borough of Fleetwood was a town of high employment when it was amalgamated with a number of nearby Urban District Councils to form Wyre Borough. The Town had been an area of high employment until the collapse of the UK fishing industry and the closure of the ICI chemical plants. The loss of employment in the Town resulted in an increase in commuters. Originally the Town had been well planned with residential and industrial areas and the Local Authority sought to reverse the decline with a series of Master and Action Plans starting in 2007. These schemes concentrated on building large scale housing developments on brownfield sites including one on reclaimed industrial land between the River Wyre and the Dock.
