Buckshaw Pharmacy expansion plan and 4 other new applications this week in Chorley and South Ribble
Take a look at some of the lastest planning applications near you.
A pharamacy in the heart of a Chorley village is looking to expand.
Bosses at Buckshaw Pharmacy, 25 - 26 Main Street, Buckshaw Village, are seeking permission to change the use of the existing first-floor two-bedroom flat to provide ancillary accommodation for staff use, and dispensing/office/storage functions for the pharmacy. They also want to install roof-mounted solar photovoltaic panels and associated signage.
A planning statement says: “The proposal is to incorporate the first-floor flat into the pharmacy so that the building can operate as a more efficient, better organised and future-facing community healthcare facility. The ground floor will remain the principal public and customerfacing area. The first floor will be staff-only and will accommodate dispensary activity, drug storage, general storage, office use, staff support space, and associated back-of-house operations.
“The purpose of the change is not simply to enlarge the commercial floor space. The proposal is intended to reorganise the pharmacy around the way modern community pharmacy now operates. Customer-facing services increasingly include private consultation, treatment, medicines advice and NHS clinical services alongside the traditional dispensing and supply of medicines.
“The proposed layout enables these customer-facing and consultation functions to remain at the most accessible level, while relocating operational and storage functions to the first floor.”
A decision will be made in coming weeks by Chorley Borough Council.
