Stanley submits plans for 170 new affordable homes in St Helens

Excited to announce that we have submitted a planning application to create 170 new homes that will regenerate a former industrial site in St Helens.

The collection of one, two, three and four-bedroom homes will be developed on an 11-acre derelict brown field site off Lancots Lane, close to local transport links, amenities, and parks.

The proposed scheme addresses a need for more affordable housing in the area, which is currently transitioning from a post-industrial hub to a residential community.

The homes will be fully compliant with the new Building Regulations, ensuring they are well insulated and thermally efficient with low running costs.

Neil Hughes, director of Stanley Land and Homes, comments: “We’re excited to submit plans for another high-quality scheme in St Helens that addresses an identified affordable housing need and contributes to the regeneration of this part of the town.

“If approved, this will be another highly sustainable scheme that will provide residents with efficient and affordable housing. It’s situated in a location that is currently undergoing its own transformation, creating a new community and a great place for people to live.”

The project is being developed in partnership with housing provider Torus, and the professional team includes MPSL Planning and Design (Architect), Alan Johnston Partnership (Engineers) and Hive (Planning consultants).

This is the second planned affordable housing development in the area, having recently announced proposals for 28 cottage style apartments on land off Baxters Lane.
