Stanley Investments has secured full planning consent on land off Higher Road in Longridge in the Ribble Valley. Stanley won approval on a 6.5ha site, at Ribble Valley’s May Committee meeting.
The site is being transferred to Registered Provider Onward which will deliver the scheme with funding secured through its Homes England Strategic Partner funding arrangements and comprises 123 new homes including 2, 3 and 4 bed houses of which 31 will be built as older persons bungalows.
The proposals will contribute to an identified need for more market, affordable and older persons housing to be delivered in Ribble Valley by offering a range of tenures including Open Market Sale, Shared Ownership and Affordable Rent.
Neil Hughes of Stanley Investments said ‘We are delighted to have obtained planning permission on this site despite many obstacles and challenges including resource issues suffered within the LPA. We have overcome this by working very collaboratively with senior staff to ensure a positive outcome.’
The scheme will also benefit from very high-quality bespoke housing design which embraces the core principles of the National Design Guide and will provide for an exemplary new living environment and a genuinely sustainable community
