Page 3 of 196 Development Management Committee Schedule 29 July 2015 Item Number: 1 Committee Date: 29 July 2015 Application Reference: 13/0753 Type of Application: Outline Planning Permission Applicant: Mr Kershaw Agent : Pilgrim Associates Ltd Location: MOSS FARM, CROPPER ROAD, WESTBY WITH PLUMPTONS, BLACKPOOL, FY4 5LB Proposal: OUTLINE APPLICATION FOR ERECTION OF 26 DWELLINGS FOLLOWING DEMOLITION OF EXISTING DWELLING (ACCESS APPLIED FOR WITH OTHER MATTERS RESERVED) Parish: Area Team: Area Team 1 Weeks on Hand: 86 Case Officer: Kieran Birch Reason for Delay: Design Improvements Summary of Recommended Decision: Approve Subj 106 Summary of Officer Recommendation The proposal is an outline application for up to 26 dwellings on a 0.97 hectare site located on the north side of Cropper Road to the west of Whitehills Industrial Estate. The site is currently allocated as Countryside in the Fylde Borough Local Plan and contains a single detached dwelling and its garden area. The residential development of Countryside land is contrary to Policy SP2 of the Fylde Borough Local Plan. However, a key material consideration in the determination of residential planning applications is the need for the council to deliver a supply of housing land equivalent to 5 years of its agreed annual target. The council’s latest published information (from December 2013) is that it is unable to deliver the necessary housing supply and so a proposal that delivers sustainable development must be supported unless it will cause significant and demonstrable harm. Furthermore it is proposed that the site be included within the Revised Preferred Option of the Fylde Local Plan to 2032 when that is presented for public consultation later in the summer., as part of an extension to the mixed use Strategic Location for Development that featured in the initial consultation of that Plan and surrounded this site. Having assessed the relevant considerations that are raised by this proposal it is officer opinion that the development is of acceptable scale and is in an acceptable location to form sustainable development. The visual impact is also considered to be acceptable and the development would not have a detrimental impact on the amenities of the area. There are no objections from LCC Highways with regard to traffic generation or safety. As such it is considered that it does deliver sustainable development and so it is recommended that the application be supported by Committee and so assist in delivering the housing supply Page 4 of 196 requirements of para 17 of NPPF. The final decision should be delegated to officers for approval on completion of a s106 agreement to secure the provision of appropriate levels of affordable housing and contributions towards education provision in the area. There is also a need for on-going queries over the site drainage to be resolved before any decision can be issued. Reason for Reporting to Committee This application constitutes major development and so the Scheme of Delegation requires that any approval be determined by Committee. Site Description and Location This 0.97 hectare site is located on the north side of Cropper Road, west of Whitehills Industrial estate. It currently consists of a detached dwellings and associated former farmstead. The detached dwellings is two storey and red brick and there are a number of outbuildings/barns in poor condition in brick to the rear. Some of these are missing sections of roofs and walls. Surrounding these buildings are areas of grassland, within which are a number of trees and the site is enclosed by hedgerows. The existing site has two vehicular accesses from Cropper Road presumably one for the dwellings and the other originally for farm traffic. An existing public right of way (515FP3) is adjacent to the northern boundary of the site and is shown to be retained by the adjacent development which encompasses the land to the north, east and south. Planning permission has been granted on these areas for housing which is currently under construction but previously this was agricultural land in the open countryside. To the west of the site is the opposite site of Cropper Road which consists of hedgerows and open land with many of the development in the wider area being horticultural nurseries or equestrian activities. The site is currently allocated as Countryside in the Fylde Borough Local Plan. Details of Proposal This an outline application for the erection of up to 26 dwellings and means of access to the development applied for. Access to the site will be from a new junction created off Cropper Road to replace the existing two accesses. The dwellings shown on the indicative site layout are a mix of semi-detached and detached dwellings and are proposed to be two-storeys and constructed in brick with concrete tiled roofs and white upvc windows. Hedgerows to the periphery are shown to be retained as are two large sycamores adjacent to the frontage with Cropper Road.

However genuine concerns are being raised with regards to the accumulative residential developments in the area, particularly when considering the drainage that are very evident in the Parish.
