Stanley Secures Planning on Wigan Greenbelt Site
Stanley Investments has secured planning on greenbelt land for residential development in Bickershaw, Wigan.
The development of 15 new dwellings will be delivered to Jigsaw Homes Group for Affordable Rent, part funded by Homes England.
Chris Curtis of Stanley Investments said, ‘In light of housing shortfalls across Greater Manchester, it is sensible that development on some parts of greenbelt should happen. This development is situated within the settlement boundary of Bickershaw which is a washed over green belt village. The site is infill with very low ecological value and contributes nothing to the function and quality of the greenbelt. On this basis we considered it appropriate and sustainable to deliver a high-quality affordable housing scheme here and the LPA at Wigan agreed with us.’
Groundworks and construction will commence before the end of November 2022.
