Stanley Land and Homes has submitted a planning application to develop 22 new affordable homes in the Bickershaw area of Wigan.
We are partnering with Jigsaw Homes Group to provide 22 affordable cottage-style apartments on a disused brownfield site at Scot Lane.
The site was formerly occupied by St Edward’s Church and Presbytery which closed in 2017. The site was cleared in 2020 after the buildings began to attract vandalism and anti-social behaviour, and it has since remained a disused brownfield site.
The apartments, which will meet high sustainability standards and the Nationally Described Space Standards, will be focused on the social rented sector.
Chris Curtis, director of Stanley and Land Homes said: “We’ve got a strong partnership with Jigsaw Homes, delivering quality schemes that meet genuine affordable housing need in Wigan and the surrounding areas.
“This is set to be our 10th scheme working with Jigsaw and it will provide much-needed one-bedroom properties that in high demand in this part of Wigan.”
The project team for the development includes Holmpatrick Developments (contractor), MPSL Planning and Design (architect), Primas Law (legal advisors), Alan Johnston Partnership (engineers), and Hive Land and Planning (planning consultant).
