Land at Moss House
Road, Blackpool
The Head of Transportation had previously
raised concerns over the potential for a ransom
strip to be created along Laundry Road. It is
now understood that Moss House Road is
adopted highway providing public access to
Laundry Road. As such, no issues are now
identified.
It is recommended that the following conditions
be attached to any permission granted:
(i) No deliveries shall be made to the shop unit
hereby approved outside of the hours of 07:00
to 19:00 Monday to Friday and 09:00 to 19:00
on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays.
Reason: In order to safeguard the residential
amenities of the occupants of nearby properties
in accordance with Policy BH3 of the Blackpool
Local Plan 2001-2016.
(ii) Before development commences, a scheme
for the improvement of Moss House Road and
Docky Pool Lane to include resurfacing, traffic
calming, localised narrowing and access
upgrades shall be submitted to and agreed in
writing by the Local Planning Authority.
Reason: In order to ensure safe and
convenient access to and around the
development for residents and visitors in

accordance with Policy AS1 of the Blackpool
Local Plan 2001-2016.
It is further recommended that the following
advice notes be attached to any permission
granted:
The works require pursuant to condition 19
attached to this permission may require the
developer to enter into an appropriate Legal
Agreement with Blackpool Borough Council
acting as Highway Authority. The Highway
Authority may also wish to implement their right
to design all works within the highway relating
to this proposal. The applicant is advised to
contact the Council's Built Environment
Department, Layton Depot, Depot Road,
Blackpool, FY3 7HW (Tel 01253 477477) in the
first instance to ascertain the details of such an
agreement and the information required.
Blackpool Council operates a refuse collection
and recycling service through the use of
wheeled bins and sacks with most premises
having 3 or 4 wheeled bins. The Council has
purchased and provided these wheeled bins to
all existing properties. However, it will be
incumbent on developers and builders of new
residential properties, including conversions, to
provide these bins. Contact should be made
with the Waste Services Section at Layton
Depot, Plymouth Road, Blackpool, FY3 7HW or
telephone
01253
476279
about
the
requirement, provision and cost of the wheeled
bins prior to any resident moving in.
The Council’s Waste Management team has
raised concerns over the refuse tracking plans
submitted with the application. More detailed
refuse tracking plans have since been provided
which appear to show that all properties could
either be adequately accessed by a standard
Blackpool Council refuse vehicle or would have
access to a refuse presentation point within a
suitable distance from which refuse would be
collected. It has not been possible to fully
consider these new plans in time for the
submission of this update note. If any issues
are identified, they will be reported at the
Committee meeting.

Collegiate High School,
Blackpool
The design of the building has been amended
slightly such that the louvres proposed above
the window panels would no longer reflect the
colours used on the end elevations of the
different sections of the building.
Additional planting has been proposed around
the cycle store. Tussock mix planting areas
have also been proposed around the playing
fields in line with the comments of the Head of
Parks and Greens to enhance biodiversity on
the site.
Amended comments have been received from
the Environment Agency in consultation with
United Utilities. In accordance with these
comments it is recommended that the
proposed drainage condition no. 12 be revised
as follows:
No development shall take place until a surface
water drainage scheme for the site, based on
sustainable drainage principles and an
assessment
of
the
hydrological
and
hydrogeological context of the development,
has been submitted to and approved in writing
by the local planning authority. The drainage
strategy should demonstrate the surface water
run-off generated up to and including the 1 in
100 year critical storm will be 30% less than the
run-off from the existing site following the
corresponding rainfall event. The scheme shall
also include details of how the scheme shall be
maintained and managed after completion. The
scheme shall subsequently be implemented in
accordance with the approved details before
the development is completed.
Reason: In order to prevent the increased risk
of flooding, both on and off site, and reduce the

risk of the development contributing to a further
reduction of Bathing Water Quality in
accordance with Policy NE10 of the Blackpool
Local Plan 2001-2016.
The development approved by this permission
shall proceed in strict accordance with the
following documents and shall ensure that the
surface water run-off from the proposed
development discharging to the public
combined sewer is reduced by at least 30%
from existing rates up to and including the 1 in

The concerns raised by the Head of
Transportation have been discussed in detail
with the applicant. It is understood that the
existing situation with regard to pedestrian
access across Blackpool Old Road is
problematic. However, and as detailed, the
capacity of the school is not changing and the
funding available to the school for the
redevelopment cannot be spent outside of the
school site. Nevertheless it has been identified
that the existing zebra crossing over Blackpool
Old Road adjacent to the southern access point
should be removed, and that a new pedestrian

refuge should be provided within the highway in
the vicinity of the proposed main pedestrian
access point. It is understood that, whilst there
is a desire to deliver these improvements, there
is no capacity for the Council as Local
Highways Authority to undertake the works at
the current time.
(a) the removal of the existing zebra
crossing over Blackpool Old Road
adjacent to the southern access point
and the provision of a pedestrian refuge
within the highway in the vicinity of the
proposed main pedestrian access point.
The works required to be agreed by part (a)
shall be implemented before the new school
building hereby approved is first brought into
use. The works required by part (b) shall be
implemented in accordance with a timetable to
be submitted as part of the scheme.
