A 101-home development alongside a motorway link road could be coming to a section of open grassland in Wigan. Hive Homes have submitted an application for the Phoenix Way site which would be built adjacent to a 325-home development and contribute to the construction of a M61 link road through Wigan.
The land proposed, described as 'scrubland' by the developers, is used recreationally by residents in the area and sits opposite Claire House Surgery in Ince. The majority of the homes would be larger with only 12 two bedroom dwellings and 85 of them being three bedrooms - the rest would be four bedroom homes.
A total of 25 homes would be sold as affordable housing, a planning statement claimed.
