Homes England has outlined plans to build up to 250 houses on a greenfield site on the outskirts of Halton.
The national homes agency has applied to install a mix of two, three and four-bed properties at the 17-hectare Sandymoor South plot in east Runcorn. Outline permission is being sought, meaning further specific details will be confirmed later with further approval required from Halton Borough Council.
A design and access statement (DAS) produced by Barton Willmore consultants and Homes England said the project is part of the longer-term expansion of Sandymoor and will produce a "high quality residential development". Sandymoor South’s housing blueprints have been developed alongside the plans for 600 homes on the neighbouring Wharford Farm site, which is to be subject of a similar upcoming application.
