Plans for more than 100 new homes east of Lancaster near the M6 have raised fears about the impact on local landmarks.

Lancaster City Council’s planning committee is to consider the proposal for 116 homes for farmland north of Quernmore Road at its meeting on Monday.

The application, by Bellway Homes, is for mainly two and three-storey houses, with one third being affordable.

However, Lancaster Civic Society, South Lancaster Flood Action Group and Quernmore Parish Council have all raised concerns, including whether the site has been officially earmarked for housing in the council’s local plan, drainage, flooding downstream, road capacity and the impact of extra families on schools and doctors.
