Land information questionnaire
We have recently sent out land information questionnaires (LIQs) to those who own land or property in the area and has a registered title.
We have to undertake an information gathering exercise to learn more about the people and businesses in the area. We have employed a company called Arcadis who will collecting the information on our behalf. This process is known as ‘land referencing’.
By completing the LIQ you will be helping us further consider any impact of this project on you and your community and help us to fully consult with you in the future.
If you need help filling out the LIQ there should have been a factsheet enclosed with it to guide you further. If you still have any questions or need assistance completing your questionnaire you can contact us by:
- Emailing the land referencing team at housingcentralregen@arcadis.com
- Calling the Blackpool Council on 01253 447477 - please ask for assistance with completing the land information questionnaire
Please quote your customer reference number at the top of this letter whenever you email or phone the team.
If you have not received an LIQ and you do own land or property within in the area then please do get in touch and we can send an LIQ out to you to fill out.
Valuations
A number of valuation have now taken place on properties within the 1st phase on the central housing regeneration area.
If you would like to have your house valued and have not yet done so or would like to discuss a valuation or offer that has been made to you please email housingcentralregen@arcadis.com
Planning application and consultation
We have carried out a number of engagement and consultation exercises on this scheme
Once the *hybrid planning application is submitted (Due Spring 2026) there is another opportunity to give views on the scheme via the planning process and planning portal.
The hybrid planning application when submitted will not give full detail on the scheme but will give as much detail as possible at this stage and there will be further planning applications submitted as the scheme progresses.
The hybrid planning application will be asking for full permission to demolish everything within the red line boundary and will also say how many properties will ‘go back’ into that space. It will also give information on the infrastructure but will not give exact detail on what the properties will look like, material used, internal layouts etc. that detail will be saved for a future planning applications, this is called Reserved Matters.
* Hybrid planning application
Is one application that seeks outline planning permission for one part and full planning permission for another part of the same site. They are often used on major developments to enable work to start sooner on one part (or phase) of the site before the full details of the other part(s) are known.
What you might see
You may begin to see hoarding installed on the properties that the council have purchased.
This is to ensure the properties are safely secured.
As the project progresses there will be security patrols to mitigate any potential antisocial behaviour. If there is an issue relating to one of the properties, then you can call 01253 476000 at any time.
All services such as gas, electric and water are being cut off in the houses bought by the council and all items that can be recycled are being stripped and removed for reuse.
