The scheme will see eight houses, including a mixture of detached and semi-detached properties, built on the site of a former health clinic on Hawes Side Lane.
Applicant David Broadbent of Stockport-based company Home2Me Ltd had sought planning permission from Blackpool Council for the houses with vehicular accesses from Burgess Avenue, Crompton Avenue and Reaney Avenue.

A council report setting out the planning decision says the investment would help meet local housing need while the designs are compatible with existing homes in the area.
It adds: "Environmentally, whilst there would be short term loss of trees and the clearance of vegetation, the agreement of a suitable landscaping scheme including tree planting and native species would have environmental and biodiversity benefits in the longer term."
