Homes to be built on brownfield landA plan of the site in Ince-in-Makerfield<\/p>\n

Plans for 65 affordable homes on brownfield land in the Ince-in-Makerfield area of Wigan<\/a> have been submitted.<\/p>\n

Stonebond Properties (Manchester) and Great Places Housing Group want to build the houses with parking, landscaping, internal access roads and public open space at Laburnum Avenue and Christopher Street.<\/p>\n

The site covers a total of 5.5 acres, split into two parcels of land. The southern part of the site is rectangular and comprises a former council depot which has been cleared to slab level.<\/p>\n

The northern part of the site was previously brownfield and home to terraced properties and known to be used for coal mining.<\/p>\n

A design and access statement available to view on the Wigan council planning portal says that Stonebond\u2019s vision is \u2018to create places for people to live, work and enjoy\u2019.<\/p>\n

It goes on: \u201cWhether we are enhancing existing neighbourhoods or creating new communities, we endeavour to develop places that are sustainable socially, economically and environmentally.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe overall vision for the Christopher Street, Wigan development has evolved through a process of onsite analysis and assessment of the constraints.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur proposals present an opportunity to create a development which incorporates the natural landscape setting for quality, family homes within the locality.\u201d<\/p>\n

The site is wedged between older housing stock to the west and new build development to the east and south. It is bound by a railway line to the north which sits at an elevated level.<\/p>\n

There are public rights of way on the eastern edge of the site running under the railway and south into Amberswood Nature Reserve.<\/p>\n
