Update on major new plans for former St Annes St John's Ambulance training centre
Here’s what’s proposed for the long-empty St John Ambulance training centre.
The former St John Ambulance training centre in St Annes could be set for a new lease of life as offices and a day centre with kitchen.
The premises at St Andrews Road North are the subject of a planning application for change of use to a mixed use development comprising offices and the day centre with kitchen to support an external meals delivery service and public training facility.
The application to Fylde Council includes associated external alterations including replacement if existing front roller shutter with new window and entrance door and installation of odour extraction flue to rear/side elevation.
The part single and part two-storey premises, set back behind homes close to the town’s fire station and backing onto the Kirkham to Blackpool South railway line, has a garage and parking.

Planning permission was passed in August 2024 to convert into three flats with associated parking and erection of a three storey detached dwelling with basement to side and annex to rear.
The day centre application has been submitted by Caroline Cosh of CHCL Properties, whoe correspondence address is in Green Street, Lytham.
St John Ambulance, which moved out of the premises some time ago, is a volunteer-led health and first aid charity providing essential training and community services focussed on emergency response, training, and supporting the NHS.
Consultation on the application is now taking place until April 29 and further details are available at pa.fylde.gov.uk under application 26/0202.
