There have been a number of objections, including from an MP
Councillors look poised to give the go-ahead for the development of 236 homes on agricultural land in the Lowton area of Wigan. Members of Wigan’s planning committee will discuss the Morris Homes application for land adjacent to Pocket Nook Farm on Tuesday .
If approved, Morris Homes will contribute more than £1.5m towards the Golborne and Lowton Infrastructure Plan in an arrangement known as a Section 106 agreement. It will also chip in £2,500 for the management and evaluation of a travel plan.Some 25 per cent of the houses must also be affordable. Included in the plan is a new road junction and ‘spine road’ designed to accommodate bus services in the future.
They say the development will have an adverse impact on the already ‘over-developed community of Lowton’. Another argument is that the houses are not needed and that the infrastructure in the area is already at capacity because of the road links to surrounding towns, leading to increased travel times.
