Regenerating a former social club site in Wigan

These 27 new affordable homes regenerated a plot of land off Coop Street on the site of the former Scholes Social Club near Wigan town centre which had remained empty since the club was demolished.

The three-storey apartment building was designed in full compliance with Homes England quality standards and the Nationally Described Space Standards.

Using alternative heating sources to gas, the scheme was designed to be fully compliant with the new Building Regulations uplift through heating and insulation to achieve a 31% reduction in carbon emissions.

We worked closley with the strategic housing team at Wigan Borough Council to devise this scheme which helped to meet high demand in the area for one-bedroom affordable properties.
