A plan for a 183-home estate on green land near Westhoughton has been the subject of nearly 1,000 objections.
Later this week, Bolton Council’s planning committee will deliberate on Bellway Homes’ proposals to build the estate on land at Bowlands Hey, to the west of Westhoughton. A range of semi-detached, detached and terraced houses are planned.
If approved, Bellway will build 58 four-bed, 94 three-bed, 33 two-bed and four single-bedroomed properties. The layout follows a typical housing estate form focused around a series of cul-de-sacs and link roads. The plans are a third phase of development for the area, extending housing beyond Dobb Brow Road and the Dobb Brow settlement on land known as Bowlands Hey.
