Top is a reservoir which I had a look at with Martin Richardson from Seymour Grove and Fell View. fellsidehomes.co.uk are due to build seven four bedroom homes here so may come back to view from an upstairs window of the show home. Name: Higher Heysham Hill number: 108385 Height: 42m / 138ft Area: 36: Lancashire, Cheshire & the Southern Pennines Class: 0 Grid ref: SD418614 (est) Drop: 39m Col: 3m The application site is located at the eastern end of Seymour Grove, Heysham, accessed directly off Heysham Road (A589). The site lies on the crest of a ridge running approximately north-south across the site and continuing northwards. The site is currently occupied by a redundant, semisubmerged covered reservoir. The reservoir occupies approximately 30% of the site in a central location. Above ground the whole of the site in made over to grass with the exception of two small single storey buildings used as a pumping station and electricity sub-station respectively. The reservoir is built partially above the natural ground level and has a short steep embankment raising the ground level between 1.0m and 2.2m above the surrounding ground.
