Site: Bracken Road, Leigh- Wigan Council
Site Size: 0.84 hectare / 2 acres
Development Opportunity
Wigan Council is seeking interest from developers for a residential led scheme. One of the sites have been identified as having the potential for residential development as per the Strategic Housing Lane Availability Assessment.
Site Overview and Potential
Small parcels of land in Council ownership. Surrounded by residential homes and bordered by an expansive greenery to the north.
The largest site forms a slightly overgrown grassy area with some mature trees on the western edge. The site is mostly fenced but can be accessed by a pedestrian footpath at the northern end of the site.
Due to the proximity of the surrounding sites, development would be expected to come forward as a cluster of estate housing, offering the opportunity to increase the scale of this development opportunity.
