A quarter of the new homes will be affordable
A development of 101 houses in the Ince area of Wigan looks set to get the go-ahead when the town’s planning committee meets next Friday . The scheme on the 8.5-acre site of a former ironworks at Phoenix Way, linking to the A572 Warrington Road has been recommended for approval by the council’s planning team.
There is a dismantled railway line and open space to the south. If it is approved, there will be 13 detached, 38 semi-detached and 50 terraced/mews homes. This equates to eight two-bed; 90 three-bed; and three. four-bed properties.Some 25 of the homes will be classed as ‘affordable’ in line with Wigan council’s policy for a quarter of new developments to categorised as such.
The petition was also sent to the leader of the council Coun David Molyneux. Objectors say there are ‘more than enough houses in this area’, and that the road infrastructure in the area cannot cope with the current population. Parking at the medical centre nearby is ‘poor’, they say.
