PROPOSED SITE
THE SIDINGS LYTHAM
Award-winning communities
Adlington Retirement Living designs, builds and operates retirement living communities with care, such as the adjacent The Sidings community. Our innovative, spacious apartments don’t just win over homeowners and their families: they also win the recognition of our industry peers.
We have built award-winning retirement communities in Otley, Portishead, Macclesfield, and Stockport, recognised at the National WhatHouse? Awards for “Best Retirement Development in the UK”, as well as “Best Development” at the 2022 Health Investor awards. With over 1000 current homeowners we continue to develop new communities across the North West, Yorkshire, the Midlands and South West.
Our vision is to empower the older generation to live a long, happy and healthy life, by providing a valuable product and service, therefore reducing the ever growing strain on the NHS.
Our product and services
The retirement community will include 1, 2 and 3-bedroom private apartments with access to communal facilities, high quality landscaped gardens with summer house and car parking, and will include:
Adlington Retirement Living work with Registered Care Providers to provide care in the comfort of each home. Homeowners purchase their own apartment and live independently but have the reassurance of 24-hour on-site support team 365 days a year. Tailored personal care packages are also available, as required. This model of elderly accommodation is ideally suited to individuals, or couples who wish to continue living together in a situation where one, or both, have care needs.
The Adlington development will offer manageable, accessible, warm homes with low running costs. Owing to the design of the building there is less risk of falls and accidents. Our active community and services also offer a social life that protects against isolation and loneliness.

Specialist housing need
The number of people aged over 65 is forecast to rise over the next decade, from the current 10.8 million people, to 13.8 million by 2035, a 27% rise. This means that approximately one in five of the UKs total population will be over 65 in 10 years time, and will become will become one in four by 2050.
It is therefore unsurprising to note that the need to provide suitable housing stock for our ageing population is described by the government as ‘critical’. The provision of age appropriate housing is of critical importance to the health of individuals and has profound impacts on public spending, particularly adult social care, and the NHS.
The Fylde Strategic Housing Market Assessment (2014) and the adopted Fylde Local Plan (2021) identify that:
An increase in the population aged 65 or over of of over 8,800 by 2030 to a total of 30,300.
The population of over 65’s in Fylde is growing faster than any other age group.
They current stock of specialist elderly accommodation can only cater for 11% of 65’s by 2030.
There are only 97 units of extra care in the existing specialist housing stock.
Across Lancashire, an additional 4,200 units of extra care will be required by 2038. This includes 399 additional units in Fylde.
Fylde Future requirements for accommodation with support: extra care housing 399 278 197 2038 2033 2028
Planning History of Site
The site forms part of the former AXA Data Centre site, part of which has now been redeveloped as Adlington’s The Sidings community, under planning application 17/0738. This application was for 65 apartments with care for the elderly and was approved by Fylde Borough Council on the 5th of March 2018.
As the site consists of residual land from the redevelopment of the main AXA Data Centre it has a limited planning history having been used as a car park for the data centre, and more recently as a storage area during the construction phase of The Sidings.
The site is allocated for residential development and previously had Outline Planning permission for up to 45 dwellings (Reference: 13/0152). This demonstrates that the site is considered to be suitable for residential accommodation.

SIDINGS
Boundaries
• The close board fence between The Sidings and the site will be removed and replaced with a 1200mm high brick wall to prevent headlight glare from cars into ground floor windows.
• The existing high level wall along North Warton street will be removed and replaced with hedging creating a more open, welcoming environment.
Site layout
Amenity Space
• A large proportion of the site is landscaped and vegetation is prioritised for a net gain of biodiversity from the current site conditions. Residents will also be able to utilise landscaping in the adjacent Adlington community.
• External mobility scooter store provided.
Planning History
• The site is allocated for residential development in the adopted development plan.
• The site previously had an Outline Planning application for houses which the Council resolved to approve.
• More recently it has been used as parking & storage area.
THE SIDINGS
Layout of the Building
• The building has been set back from North Warton Street in order to maintain the existing pattern of development.
• Equally, separation distances to the properties to the north on West Cliffe, west on Wharf Street, and adjacent Adlington development, have been kept as high as possible, to maintain the amenity of our neighbours.
Car parking and servicing
• 13 spaces to be provided, including 2 dedicated disabled bays.
• All parking spaces will be provided with an EV charge point.
• A bin store is provided in proximity to the site entrance with a turning head provided for servicing vehicles.
Site Access
• Vehicle access to the car park to be provided from West Cliffe. This is in the same location as the current storage site access, and will not affect traffic to the main car park of The Sidings.
• A pedestrian footpath will link the proposed new building to The Sidings community and gardens. The communal facilities in The Sidings will be available to future residents.
