National infrastructure project about 981 m away: Morgan and Morecambe Offshore Wind Farms Transmission Assets
The site is about 981 m from the project boundary. Electricity line, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted.
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.

Also on the record
Registered park or garden about 109 m away: Promenade Gardens, Lytham St Anne's; Special protection area about 397 m away: Ribble & Alt Estuaries; SSSI about 397 m away: Ribble Estuary SSSI; 1 listed building within 150 m of the postcode pin; Inside the Lytham St Anne's built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 2 November 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Planning Inspectorate and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
