Massive news for those nearby
A vision to protect Blackpool’s Marton Moss from over-development has been approved by the council – and could lead to the restoration of a historic farmhouse.
. It is also hoped to partially restore Midgeland Farm, which is locally listed and stands on a former landfill site just off Midgeland Road, for community use. The farm has been in local authority ownership since 1968, and the Marton Moss Neighbourhood Forum has agreed with the council “measures to retain, as far as reasonably practicable, the structure of the farmhouse, stable, barn and early shippons , will be supported.”
In his report Mr Mead said this was “to help guard against inappropriate and excessive development within whole plots, and would assist in protecting the distinctive character of Marton Moss.” He praised the work of the Marton Moss Neighbourhood Forum in producing the plan, which he concluded “should enable the attractive character and appearance of Marton Moss to be maintained whilst enabling sustainable development to proceed.
