Stanley set to develop 27 affordable new homes in Wigan

Stanley has received planning permission to create a scheme of new affordable homes on the site of a former social club in Wigan.

We are the developer behind the project, Great Places Housing Group will manage the homes upon completion, with work set to start later this month.

Featuring 27 one-bedroom apartments and an outdoor communal area, the scheme will be built on land off Coop Street on the site of the former Scholes Social Club, which has been derelict since it was knocked down.

The plans, submitted by PWA Planning, will address a need for affordable housing close to Wigan town centre.

The three-storey apartment building will sit in a prominent location close to Wigan town centre and has been designed to reflect the surrounding area. It will include on-site car parking, cycle storage and electric vehicle charging points.

Neil Hughes, director of Stanley Land and Homes, comments: “We have developed a number of sites in Wigan through our continued partnership with Wigan Borough Council and look forward to working with Great Places Housing Group.

“This latest approval allows us to progress another quality scheme that will be delivered to the highest standards of urban design and is another example of brownfield regeneration done right. We are looking forward to starting on site soon.”

The scheme will be built in full compliance with Homes England quality standards.

The professional team on the project includes Holmpatrick Developments (contractor), Alan Johnston Partnership (engineers), Eden Building Design (architect), and Primas Law (legal advisors).

Stanley up for Small Developer of the Year at annual RESI Awards

Stanley Land and Homes has been shortlisted for the ‘Small Developer of the Year’ award at the 2024 RESI Awards.

The ‘Small Developer of the Year’ category recognises developers who have achieved significant growth in the last twelve months. This could be through the delivery of a flagship scheme, regenerating an underused area, building a healthy pipeline of projects, or working to improve ESG targets.

“Our Lancots Lane and Baxters Lane schemes in St Helens, Bellerton Lane in Stoke on Trent and Middleton Road in Heysham are examples of our drive for regenerating former brownfield sites, and delivering high quality housing schemes for our communities.”
