350 Blackpool homes to get green light - if developer stumps up local cash

Proposals to build 350 new houses on the edge of Blackpool look set to get the go-ahead provided the developer stumps up cash for extra local services.

The application has been recommended for approval when it goes before Fylde’s Planning Committee on Wednesday, May 15, with final approval delegated to planning officers once 106 agreements have been reached. The application attracted 19 public comments with concerns including the loss of open space and wildlife habitats, and fears Cropper Road will not be able to cope with the extra traffic generated by the development. The planning report says: “The site is notably constrained by flood risk, with the proposed design and layout being significantly influenced by the amount of land required for its attenuation and to properly manage flood risk.

But officers say the flood risk management plan which includes the construction of drainage basins, is acceptable, while a survey carried out in March “demonstrates that the proposed development would not have unacceptable and harmful impacts on these or other protected species.
