Feathers have been ruffled by this one 👀
Controversial proposals to build 33 apartments for people aged 55 and over in Thornton have been approved by Wyre planners – nearly 18 months after they were refused.
Additionally, an appeal to the Planning Inspectorate was dismissed, although only on the grounds that the applicant had not submitted a Section 106 obligation to fund a green community project.However, developer James Carter Homes resubmitted the application to Wyre for outline planning permission to build the apartments and demolish an existing house. Now Wyre Borough Council's planning committee has approved the scheme, with conditions, at the latest meeting.
Councillor Phil Orme said that the refusal reasons for the previous application were still relevant, but conceded that the existence of a three-storey building behind the boundary meant that the refusal on scale and massing would be difficult to pursue.
