A housing scheme which would have seen more than 200 homes built in Poulton has been refused by planners.

Wain Homes were looking to build the 208-strong estate on a 27-acre plot close to two schools in the town, Breck Primary and Brookfield School.

The planning application was lodged with Wyre Council earlier this year to build the houses, 30 per cent of which were affordable homes, on land south of Fouldrey Avenue, off the northern end of Breck Road.
