A former primary school in Wigan could be replaced by a social housing development with 47 homes. The site where St Mary’s Primary School used to be, which closed in 2004 and was demolished in 2015, would be brought back to use by Wigan Council who are aiming to bring more affordable housing to the area.
The plan is to create a mix of apartments, bungalows and two to four bedroom houses just off Derby Street in Ince. Should planning permission be granted, the properties would be let on an affordable rent basis and managed by Wigan Council.
Disused land that had become overgrown in and around the area would be brought back into use under this new proposal.
