A developer is looking to push through a 1,100 home ‘masterplan’ at Mosley Common that could see a new community built. The plan is said to help meet the local demand for housing, install a new guided busway stop and new primary school provision to address the level of additional demand generated.
The Wigan site, close to the border with Salford, is part of the Places for Everyone plan that identifies a requirement for 15,554 new dwellings over the plan period 2021 to 2037. Peel Land & Property, the developers, were keen to submit the planning application prior to the decision on the Places for Everyone plan.
The masterplan was approved on July 27 but that decision has since been called in by council.
