Soundness - whether the content of the document represents a ‘sound’ document, with regard to whether the document is: Positively prepared; Justified; Effective; and Consistent with national policy. The Council has prepared a Statement of Representations Procedure, a standard form for representations and a guidance note to help all interested parties to make a formal representation and complete the relevant forms. These explain further the matters of legal compliance and soundness.

Council officers will also host drop-in sessions around the Borough during the consultation period to provide the opportunity for members of the public to come along and ask questions about the Revised Preferred Option document and for guidance on making a representation. There are a number of ways you can comment on the Revised Preferred Option document Publication version:’ • Amend the ‘Abbreviations’ to include: ‘LAPS – Local Areas for Play’ and ‘LEAPS – Local Equipped Areas for Play.’ 3 4 Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 1: Introduction Number of representations: Comment Support Object Total 35 2 18 55 (Some respondents have submitted more than one representation for this section, therefore the number of representations does not match the number of respondents. This occurs throughout the Responses Report) Representations received from: • Home Builders Federation • Natural England • CPRE – Fylde District • Lancashire County Council • Wyre County Council • Medlar with Wesham Town Council • Newton with Clifton Parish Council • 4 Developers • 2 Action Groups • 5 Residents What you said Paragraph 1.1 A developer is supportive of the council’s approach to identifying a suitable plan period from 1 April 2011 to 31 March 2032. If adopted in 2017, the Local Plan would still be drawn up over the required timescale of at least 15 years, in accordance with paragraph 157 of the Framework. An Action Group commented that it was very much in favour of the Local Plan. Paragraph 1.7 - Neighbourhood Development Plans Natural England commented that since some Neighbourhood Development Plans are being prepared in advance of the Local Plan, it would be helpful to include the following text in the Local Plan: ‘Where a Neighbourhood Plan could lead to significant environmental effects it will be necessary to screen the Plan in relation to the Habitats & Species Regulations (as amended) 2010 (the 'Habitats Regulations') and the Environment Assessment of Plans and 4 5 Programmes Regulations 2004. In relation to the Habitats Regulations, a Neighbourhood Plan cannot progress if it would result in a likely significant effect on any European Site (see Schedule 2, The Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations, amended 2015). Therefore reduction and/or avoidance measures may need to be incorporated into the Neighbourhood Plan to ensure compliance with the Regulations. A screening exercise should be undertaken if there is any doubt about the effects of the Plan on European protected sites. This will be particularly important if a Neighbourhood Plan is to progress before a Local Plan has been adopted and/or the Neighbourhood Plan proposes development which has not be assessed and/or included in the HRA for the Local Plan. In addition to the HRA process, if environmental effects are predicted a SEA screening exercise should also be undertaken. A SEA may be required where: - a neighbourhood plan allocates sites for development - a neighbourhood plan contains sensitive natural assets that may be affected by the plan - a neighbourhood plan may have significant effects that have not already been considered and dealt with in the Sustainability Appraisal for the Local Plan.’ An Action Group’s preference for taking development in Newton forward and to fairly address residents’ concerns, would be through the creation of a Neighbourhood Forum, development of a neighbourhood plan and a subsequent referendum. Two residents objected claiming that all comments made against the Preferred Option version of the Local Plan in 2013 were a waste of time and effort when it was issued, without any prior consultation with the residents of Warton to inform them of what the council was intending to do to this area, resulted in the village being subjected to a deluge of planning applications from developers, who saw the issuing of the Preferred Option version of the draft Local Plan as giving the green light to begin major development in and around the village. Consequently, this latest attempt to plan for future development in the Fylde is already out of date where it concerns Warton and experience from the previous draft Fylde Local Plan to 2030 has shown that there is little point in providing extensive detailed comments because: the RPO version of the Plan to 2032 is already out of date as a result of the Secretary of State's decision to approve the building of up to 360 new homes at Blackfield End Farm, Church Road, Warton (planning application 13/0674), against the objectives of local residents, Fylde Council and LCC. Any comments that are made against the new draft will not stop the tide of planning applications for new major housing developments in and around Warton that residents are still facing on an almost monthly basis. The Government wants developers to build as many homes as possible, and so in the end the developers will just build what they want where want, because ultimately the Secretary of State will approve their application, no matter what we want. All the effort that Warton villagers out into their Neighbourhood Development Plan has also been a waste of time because the council has still not progressed the formal adoption of the Plan and so it will continue to be afforded very little weight, as stated by the Planning Inspector and Secretary of State when they recommended approval of the building of up to 360 new homes at Blackfield End Farm, Church Road, Warton (planning application 13/0674).

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).

  • United Utilities Report on the Flooding of 22Nd / 23Rd November 2017 Date : August 2018
    United Utilities Report on the flooding of 22nd / 23rd November 2017 Date : August 2018 Page | 1 1.0 Background to the flooding Event 22nd – 23rd November 2017 Rainfall There had been considerable rainfall, leading up to the significant rainfall on the Wednesday evening, which ultimately led to the flooding in the north Blackpool and Wyre areas. The weather front first hit the Fylde coast, but also spread northwards with similar rainfall also being experienced in the Lancaster patch, to the north of the Blackpool / Fleetwood area. In order to understand the extent of the rainfall, there is a need to look at a 48 hour period from Tuesday 21st November through to the early hours of Thursday 23rd November 2018. A rainfall event that took until Sunday 26th November, to drain down both the main Fylde Tunnel system, and the local watercourse systems on the northern Fylde Coast Peninsula. Analysis of local raingauge information highlighted that the the greatest amount of rainfall, fell over the northwestern Blackpool / Wyre area, with a slightly lower rainfall event in the southern areas of Blackpool. The Fleetwood raingauge information proved to be the most representative of the impact upon these northern Fylde Coast area. Rainfall Intensity 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 (mm/hr) Intensity Rainfall 5 0 20/11/2017… 20/11/2017… 21/11/2017… 21/11/2017… 21/11/2017… 21/11/2017… 21/11/2017… 21/11/2017… 22/11/2017… 22/11/2017… 22/11/2017… 22/11/2017… 22/11/2017… 22/11/2017… 23/11/2017… 23/11/2017… 23/11/2017… 23/11/2017… 23/11/2017… 23/11/2017… 24/11/2017… RG01 RG03 RG04 Date / Time Figure 1.0 : RG04 Fleetwood raingauge, RG03 Poulton raingauge, RG01 Airport raingauge Modelling reviews of the rainfall that fell, highlighted that the volume that fell, in the 48 hour period was equivalent to a 1 in 64 year rainfall event.

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.

    Executive Report Report to: EXECUTIVE Decision number: Earliest date for 12 th SEPTEMBER decision: 2007 3. M55 - NORCROSS ROUTE OPTION 1.0 Matter for consideration: 1.1 To consider the M55 - Norcross route option, for upgrading the A585(T) between the M55 motorway and Norcross Roundabout. At the meeting of the Leaders and Chief executives of the three Fylde coast authorities (Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre) on 19th July 2007, it was agreed that in principle the three Councils would support the ‘blue route’ (instead of the ‘yellow route’). 2.0 Recommendation(s): 2.1 That Blackpool Council officially supports the stance agreed on 19th July 2007 and will support the ‘blue route’ option for upgrading the A585(T) between the M55 motorway and Little Singleton (and by inference the ‘orange route’ between Little Singleton and Norcross Roundabout). 3.0 Category grouping: Corporate/Strategic 4.0 Community Plan objective: A Prosperous Town 5.0 Information 5.1 The A585(T) linking Fleetwood and the Wyre peninsula with the M55 motorway is currently operating close to capacity with journey times becoming increasingly unreliable and high traffic impacts on the communities through which it passes. Consultant Faber Maunsell appraised route improvement options as part of the Fylde Coast Sub-Regional Transport Study (March 2005).
