en.Wedoany.com Reported - Northern Trust has secured outline planning permission for a greenfield development on agricultural land east of Church Road, in collaboration with MCK Associates. The approval was keyed to the borough's lack of a five-year housing land supply, and despite the site being in a rural area designated by the Fylde Local Plan and not conforming to the development forms supported by that policy, officers determined it would cause no "significant and demonstrable harm." The committee delegated authority to the planning director to grant permission, subject to 30% affordable housing and a Section 106 agreement including a £245,000 education contribution. The exact number of homes, layout, and design will be determined at the reserved matters stage.

Also approved (subject to a biodiversity net gain agreement) is a five-court indoor padel tennis centre on a vacant plot within the Whitehills industrial estate in Westby-with-Plumptons. A planning application to convert a home on Clifton Drive North in Lytham St Annes into a Spiritualist Society church was deferred, pending additional transport information. The Northern Trust scheme documents are available on the Fylde Council planning portal, reference number 26/0013.
