Application Number: 18/00899/OUTMAJ

Land East Of Carr End Lane, Stalmine, Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire

Outline application for the erection of up to 65 dwellings with new access applied for off Carr End Lane (all other matters reserved) (resubmission of 18/00075/OUTMAJ)

The application was before members at the request of Councillor Julie Robinson. In addition, the development of this site formed part of an allocated site in the Wyre Local Plan and was of strategic importance.

A site visit took place to enable Members to understand the proposal and its setting beyond the plans submitted and because of the nature of the area, it could not have been adequately conveyed through photographs.

The committee considered the update sheet, which contained additional information.

Andrew Haydock (Stalmine Parish Councillor), Julie Robinson (Wyre Councillor for Hambleton and Stalmine Ward) and John Shedwick (Lancashire County Councillor for Thornton and Hambleton Division) commented and stated objections to the application.

Chris Betteridge, Agent of the applicant (Wainhomes North West), spoke in favour of the application.

The committee considered the application, but felt there was insufficient information regarding the drainage of the site.

The application was DEFERRED in order for additional drainage information, including whether the development was intended to drain to the existing ditch to the front of the site’ to be provided so that the Committee could consider the application with clearer information on this issue.
