We’re pleased to reveal plans for our latest development which will see a long derelict site in Wigan regenerated with new affordable homes.
We’ve submitted a planning application to create 27 new homes on land off Coop Street on the site of the former Scholes Social Club which has remained empty since the club was demolished.
The three-storey apartment building has been designed in full compliance with Homes England quality standards and the Nationally Described Space Standards.
Using alternative heating sources to gas, the scheme also will be fully compliant with the new Building Regulations uplift through heating and insulation to achieve a 31% reduction in carbon emissions.
Neil Hughes, director of Stanley Land and Homes, comments: “This is another highly sustainable scheme – one that will regenerate a long-dormant brownfield site to provide much needed affordable homes close to Wigan town centre.
“We have developed several sites in Wigan now and, through the great working relationship we have with the strategic housing team at Wigan Borough Council, we’ve been able to devise another quality scheme that will help to address the high demand in the area.”
The proposed apartment building, which has been designed to be in keeping with properties in the local area, will sit in a landscaped plot with on-site car parking provided.
The professional team on the project includes PWA Planning (planning consultants), Alan Johnston Partnership (engineers), Eden Building Design (Artchitect), and Primas Law (legal advisors).
