Cabinet received a report setting out a draft written Local Impact Report in relation to the Highways England application to the Planning Inspectorate for a Development Consent Order for the improvement of the A585 between Skippool and Windy Harbour near Poulton le Fylde, comprising a 4.8km bypass to the south of the existing A585 along Mains Lane. It was noted that, in determining the application for a Development Consent Order, the Secretary of State had to have regard to the Local Impact Report prepared by the Local Planning Authority and it was therefore an important document to aid in the consideration of the project.

Resolved: That

  i.  the Local Impact Report as set out in the report be approved for submission to the Planning Inspectorate as representing the county council's views as Local Planning Authority on the policy implications and local environmental impacts of the project.

  ii.  Authority be delegated to the Head of Planning and Environment to reply to any formal written questions from the Examining Authority.
