Poulton clinic to be demolished for 6 new homes

Council planners gave the go ahead for four three-bed houses, and two two-bed houses, to be built on Princess Avenue.

Currently, Poulton clinic sits on the plot, with Poulton St Chad's primary school directly behind.

The health centre building will be demolished to make way for the new properties.

Housing developers Nexus Planning said the development would "retain the existing path along the eastern boundary," which links Princess Avenue to the school.

Each house will have "large rear gardens with access for waste storage and maintenance," with one private parking space per two-bed house and two spaces per three-bed.

The properties are set to be "two storey symmetrical terraced dwellings, generally built in red brick (some white render) with access to the back through a central alley and soft landscaping at the front."

The Gazette contacted Wyre Council about alternative provisions for the health centre's services, which include children's and family services.
