Housing Earmarked For Wigan Cattle Market Site

Working with PWA Planning, housing association Jigsaw and developer Stanley Investments have launched a public consultation on plans to build 70 homes on a former cattle market in Wigan.

The brownfield site off Field Street and Hey Street has lain derelict for years and Jigsaw is now planning to bring forward up to 70 affordable homes on the site, including a mix of semi-detached and terraced homes alongside apartments.

Working with PWA and Stanley Investments, the project team is working up designs for the scheme and has opened a public consultation for the site ahead of a planning application.

The site borders the railway on one side and is a short distance from both of Wigan’s main train stations, as well as the DW Stadium.

Pre-application discussions have already taken place with Wigan Council, but PWA said the development “remains in draft and may be subject to revisions following comments from the local community”.

Paul Walton, director of PWA Planning, said: “This development will vastly improve the appearance of the area, transforming a site that has become an eyesore for residents and local businesses.

“This is a sustainable brownfield site that will bring much-needed affordable homes to the area. We look forward to working with Jigsaw Homes and Stanley Developments to submit a planning application in the near future.”

The consultation can be accessed here, and comments close on 25 June 2018.

Planning Submitted For Former Wigan Cattle Market

PWA Planning has been appointed by housing provider Jigsaw Homes and developer Stanley Investments to advise on a planning application for up to 70 new homes in Wigan.

The development of high-quality affordable homes is planned for a derelict parcel of brownfield land at Field Street and Hey Street.

The site, which is within a short walking distance of Wigan’s two main train stations and the DW stadium, was once a cattle market but has lain empty for years.

PWA Planning is currently assisting Jigsaw and Stanley Investments with a public consultation which will help inform the final layout and design of the scheme ahead of a formal planning application.

Paul Walton, a director of PWA Planning, said: “This development will vastly improve the appearance of the area, transforming a site that has become an eyesore for residents and local businesses.

Katie Marshall, Group Director of Development Manager at Jigsaw Group added “We are delighted to be working with PWA Planning and Stanley Investments on plans for this development. Our aim is to provide much-needed quality affordable homes for Wigan while at the same time help regenerate the local area by revitalising a derelict piece of land. We will consult closely with the community and other local stakeholders to bring this valuable development to fruition.”

Chris Curtis of Stanley Investments said: “We are proud to be leading the development of this site with our partners, delivering a vibrant new residential environment and a high quality sustainable outcome for the local community”

The site will provide a mix of semi-detached and terraced homes and apartments. There will be dedicated parking for all the homes and the site will also benefit from high-quality landscaping.
