Blackpool homes plans sunk due to flooding fears
Plans for a major housing development in Blackpool have been thrown out by councillors who heard residents already live in fear of flooding.
Developers Lovell Partnerships had wanted to build 86 houses on land at Warren Drive, Norbreck, but Blackpool Council’s planning committee unanimously rejected the application after hearing “gardens in the area had been under water for months”.
Despite being recommended to approve the scheme which would help Blackpool meet its house-building targets, councillors said it was “the wrong place”.
