Stanley Investments has submitted a Detailed Planning application for a newbuild affordable housing scheme on land off Baxters Lane, St Helens. The new homes will comprise 28 cottage style apartments in two blocks and will regenerate an obsolete and disused brownfield site in an increasingly residential area.
The approach to the design of the layout and the scheme’s character and appearance closely follows principles detailed in the Government’s National Design Guide.
Neil Hughes of Stanley stated ‘We have created a high-quality scheme design at Baxter’s Lane to address an identified affordable housing need in the area. Community consultation undertaken in the summer demonstrated clear local support for the scheme and it is our intention to work proactively with the LPA to secure a timely consent.’
Stanley will be submitting a further application in St Helen’s in the coming months.
