Richard Bacon, MP, a leading exponent of community housebuilding, has helped launch a plan to shape a Wigan church into affordable homes.
Award-winning charity Housing People, Building Communities was granted planning permission to develop the vacant St William’s church and presbytery and adjacent land in Ince into homes. The development, working in collaboration with Prima Housing Group work, has now started.
’s unique model offers both. More projects like this around the country would play a major role in creating sustainable solutions to the housing crisis. We just need more folks like HBPC with both the imagination to see what is possible and the knowledge of how to make it happen.' Councillor David Molyneux MBE, leader of Wigan Council, said: “Developments like this make huge changes to people’s lives.
’s unique model. The former church will be converted into 10 two and three bed houses/apartments, the Presbytery into a three bed, two bed and one bed apartments and the grounds behind will accommodate 14 three-bed houses. In total 27 new affordable homes will be built.
