The planning committee is due to meet on Tuesday October 10
One controversial 106-home housing estate and new access to another are causing a stink in Wigan as the planning committee prepare to make a decision.
106-home plan on vacant land off Enterprise House In the space of a demolished business park off Seaman Way would be 106 new homes if the committee approves the plan. The homes would be built in the vacant space left by Enterprise House, which was bulldozed in 2022 - neighbouring the Amberswood Rise housing development.
Two Ince ward representatives, Coun David Molyneux and Coun Maureen O’Bern have flagged concerns about the destruction of a woodland corridor at the back of locals’ properties. Amberswood Nature Reserve sits just a stone’s throw away from the proposed site. If this plan was approved, it means new residents of the development would have to go all the way through the neighbouring Broadfern estate to access their new home whilst construction work is complete. Once the development is finished, the idea is that the houses will be accessible for residents via Rectory Lane as originally planned.
“The agreed access route for the new estate needs to be used, with the blind bends present on Broadfern an increase in traffic will surely only cause us more issues even if it is only temporary.”
