The proposals entailed the creation of three ‘high quality’ residential dwellings
Plans to turn a private medical practice in Garstang into apartments have been approved by planners at Wyre . The application was lodged with the council in respect of Garstang Clinic, based at 14-16 High Street.
The application site is split over the ground floor and first floor of 16 High Street and the first-floor of numbers 14 and 15 High Street. The properties are located within the heart of Garstang’s Conservation Area. One potential concern was that the closure of a medical facility in a small market town would amount to the loss of a key amenity to the wider community of Garstang.
In a ‘community loss’ planning statement on behalf of applicant Mr S Horn, the consultants stated: “The existing building is occupied by a small private medical practice which provides minimal community benefits in comparison to other typified community uses such as NHS surgeries, churches and community centres. Conjunctively, the lease for the existing tenant is coming to an end and the private individual isn’t seeking to extend their occupation in Garstang.
