Fylde approves demolition to pave way for St Annes housing
Rowland Homes can now tear down the bungalow and stables that currently occupy the four-acre site off Wildings Lane, which has outline permission for 52 homes.
Fylde Council followed officer recommendations to approve the developer’s land preparation plans for the Lytham St Annes scheme at a planning meeting on Wednesday.
Proposals will see the demolition of all the buildings and structures across the site, which has been formerly used for the grazing and exercise of horses.
Rowland will also undertake ground stabilisation works in order to provide a solid development foundation for the approved housing scheme.
These enabling works include site clearance and preparation, as well as ground investigations such as trial pits and drilling.
Temporary access points, site fencing, and a contractor’s compound will also be created for use throughout the construction of the development.
Rowland was granted outline planning consent for the 52-home scheme in April, following a deferral in March due to a lack of affordable housing provision.
The project team for the latest application includes Ironside Farrar, Mode Transport Planning, Pete Marquis Contractors, Wardell Armstrong, Envirotech, and SurveyEng.

I doubt this will include a Doctor’s surgery or a school, The area is already overcrowded, Lytham is too small to cope with an influx of more people with no access to services.

@victoria Walmsley – But what if some of the residents are already living in the area – i.e. overcrowded/multi-generational housing, would this be slightly more acceptable? And what about these residents paying Council Tax, thus contributing to the ongoing costs, and improvement of existing services?
