PROVISION OF 58 CAR PARKING SPACES WITH NEW VEHICULAR AND PEDESTRIAN ACCESS. ASSOCIATED LANDSCAPING AND OUTDOOR RECREATIONAL AREAS. Ward: HEYHOUSES Parish: St Anne's on the Sea Weeks on Hand: 11 Case Officer: Kieran Birch Reason for Delay: Delays in consultation replies If viewing online this is a Google Maps link to the general site location: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.7611164,-3.0025274,540m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en Summary of Recommended Decision: Approve Subj 106 Summary of Officer Recommendation The application relates to the erection of a 205-bedroom care home with associated ancillary facilities on an area of land off Wildings Lane which is allocated for residential development in the Fylde Local Plan to 2032 and has previously had planning permission for the erection of 53 dwellings. Whilst the site is currently undeveloped and sits within a landscape of other undeveloped land, the surrounding land has planning permission and reserved matters approval for residential development as part of the ‘Queensway’ development. The proposed 205-bedroom care home brings the benefit of a different form of accommodation which will cater for an identified need for elderly residents as well as releasing approximately 119 existing dwellings into the open market based on the national guidance calculation. This is well in excess of the 53 homes that the Fylde Local Plan to 2032 presumes to deliver, ensuring that the site will contribute positively to the delivery of the aims of the Local Plan with regards to general and specialist housing supply. There will also be economic benefits in terms of job creation. The development is considered to sit well with the mix of residential uses, retail and school permitted in the area. Accordingly, the principle of the development is acceptable. The proposed ‘interim’ and ‘final’ access arrangements are considered acceptable subject to appropriate conditions and legal agreement and during the interim period the development will not have an unacceptable impact on Wildings Lane. LCC Highways have no objections to the application. 5 5 The biodiversity of the site has been considered and it has been concluded that subject to appropriate mitigation that there will be not be any unacceptable impact on ecology. The impact on residents throughout construction has been considered and whilst there will be some impact as with any major construction project it is concluded that the impact would not be so harmful as to refuse this application. Therefore the application is recommended for approval. Reason for Reporting to Committee The application is for 'major development' and so it is necessary to present the application to the Planning Committee for a decision. Site Description and Location The application site is a 1.7 hectare site located on the eastern side of Wildings Lane in St Anne’s. The site is located in the settlement boundary in the Fylde Local Plan to 2032 and is allocated site HS60 for 53 homes to be completed during the plan period. The land to the north, south and west of the application site is also within the settlement boundary in the plan and has outline planning permission for 1150 dwellings through planning permission 08/0058 and reserved matters application 15/0400 for the erection of 927 dwellings on the majority of the site covered by the outline planning permission. This is the scheme that is currently being implemented on that site. The land to the east of the application site lies outside of the settlement boundary and is classed as open countryside. The application site as existing is partly a designated Biological Heritage site and has previously been used as commercial kennels. The landscape surrounding the site is typical of the area and comprises low lying, poorly drained, level, grazing land, with ditches and wind sculpted woodland. The site itself is flat and has an average level of 4.5 – 5.0m AOD. Residential properties along Wildings Lane are located to the south and west of the application site. Details of Proposal The application is submitted in full for the erection of Care Village use class C2 (Residential Institutions) with 205 bedrooms, communal lounges and dining areas, a library, cinema room and a salon. The development is set in seven linked blocks, with parking in front of the building and outdoor recreational areas surrounding the site including a putting green and a bowling green for residents use. A total of 58 car parking spaces are proposed to serve the development for both staff and visitors. The proposed scheme arranges the care home as a collection of buildings surrounded by green areas and parking spaces.
