More than 40 flats and and houses could be built on green land next to Bolton Rugby Club.
Social housing provider Bolton At Home has submitted a planning application to build 44 homes at Avenue Street, Halliwell, close to rugby playing fields and a reservoir.
In planning documents lodged this week Bolton At Home say the homes will be a 12-unit block of flats, four cottage flats alongside 10 two-bed, 14 three-bed and four, four-bed houses.
The homes would overlook the nearby rugby pitch.
The plans reveal that 149 trees would need to be removed from the site to create a ‘development plateau’.
However, the application claimed there would be a biodiversity net gain from the project by ‘an elaborate landscaping scheme’.
