UK's Oakmere Proposes 110 Homes in Lancaster

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Developer Oakmere is proposing to build 110 new homes east of Fulwood Drive in Lancaster, England. This follows the rejection of a previous planning application for 129 homes on the same site by the local council and the Planning Inspectorate in 2023 and 2024, respectively.

Oakmere plans to reduce the scale of development on this 17.8-acre green belt site and has submitted a screening request for an Environmental Impact Assessment scoping opinion to the council.

Planning documents show that the new proposal includes 77 market sale homes, 10 affordable rental homes, and 23 affordable home ownership units.

S&L Planning Consultants and architect MCAU are advising on the proposal. The public can view details via the Lancaster City Council planning portal under reference number 26/00553/EIR.

The previous proposal was rejected by the council by just two votes. Although officers had recommended approval, the council was concerned about the impact of the development on an important urban landscape area.

Oakmere subsequently appealed, but the Planning Inspectorate upheld the council's decision to refuse the application.
