Land in Preesall has been earmarked for 53 homes
Credit: via Breck Homes planning application to Wyre Council
The Breck Homes proposal is earmarked for land at Rosemount Avenue
featuring 15 two-bed three-person bungalows
11 three-bed five-person properties and 10 four-bed six-person houses
funding is in place from Homes England to secure a start on site in summer 2024
to enable completion by the end of March 2026 to satisfy the terms of grant
The plans also say the tenure split would provide 33 dwellings available for affordable rent and 20 dwellings for rent-to-buy
A final split will be agreed upon through discussions between the applicant
The main access to the site for both pedestrians and vehicles will be a continuation of Rosemount Avenue which curves round to form a spine road running through the centre of the development
Most of the homes are distributed in a linear layout along this central spine road
All two and three-bed dwellings will have two off-street parking spaces and all four-bed properties will have three spaces
Mosaic is the project’s planning consultant
Ascerta is taking on the ecological and arboricultural assessments

The plans for land off Bourbles Lane would see the removal of hundreds of thousands of tonnes of sand and gravel and to insert 300,000 tonnes of tested soil
the extracted materials would be used within the construction industry
An application has been submitted by Baxter Construction to Lancashire Council for approval for a scoping document which would enable initial work to be undertaken on the site
Cat Smith has now presented a petition in parliament signed by dozens of campaigners
she said: ‘’I present this petition which has been signed by 45 of my constituents who live in and around the beautiful village of Preesall
‘’Residents are concerned about the proposal to build a new quarry
‘’Quarries disrupt the water table
which is a worry in a village which suffers from localised flooding
‘’The petition asks the House of Commons to urge the government to ask Lancashire County Council to engage with local residents and ultimately reject the plans.’’
