Councillors have approved plans for a £200m, 225-acre development at Blackpool's Whyndyke Farm that will see hundreds of jobs created and 1,400 homes built.
Blackpool Council gave the green light for work to start next year, expecting the project to take between 10 and 15 years to complete. Fylde Council, which will have jurisdiction over the majority of the land, approved plans in June.
This was scaled back from an original plan for more than 2,000 homes, but planning officers requested provisions for employment land. There will also be two neighbourhood centres, retail space, sports pitches and natural habitats such as ponds and watercourses.
