Rosslyn Avenue will be extended to give people access to the site.

Preesall Town Council strongly opposed the plans following a consultation by Wyre Council, citing flood risks, drainage and sewage disposal, impact on wildlife and potential land contamination among its concerns.

The Environment Agency raised no objection to the plans.

In a committee report published by Wyre Council, it said the government body agreed that the application ‘adequately demonstrates the development will be safe in the design flood with allowance for climate change’.

United Utilities said no surface water from the site will be permitted to drain directly or indirectly into the public sewer.

The report read: “The proposed development will not have a significant impact on highway safety.”

Some 42 letters of objection were submitted over the plans with regards to loss of wildlife, congestion, lack of places at nearby schools, air pollution and more.
