Architectural and planning consultancy Cassidy + Ashton has secured planning permission for a mixed-use urban extension scheme at Whyndyke Farm on the outskirts of Blackpool, Lancashire.
Plans for the 225-acre site, on land near to the M55, include 1,400 new homes, a primary school, two shopping areas, a pub, health centre and community centre.
In addition, almost 50 acres has been allocated for industrial, storage or distribution use.
Other elements of the scheme include car parking, sports pitches and allotments, as well as natural habitats such as ponds and watercourses. Highways infrastructure will also be created to link the site to existing roads.
Alban Cassidy, chartered town planner and environmental consultant at Cassidy + Ashton, said: “We have worked on this project for several years and have utilised skills and experience from across both our planning and architectural teams to develop a sustainable, mixed-use development that will help to meet the residential, retail and employment needs of the Fylde peninsula.”
Cassidy + Ashton secured the resolution on behalf of the Whyndyke Consortium. It is expected that it will take around 15 years to fully develop the site.
