Development Opportunity
Wigan Council is seeking interest from developers for a residential led scheme.
Site Overview and Potential
The site offers an excellent residential development opportunity in an already established residential area. The site is located within the Wigan and Bolton Growth Corridor, a key growth location which will see improved transport links including new road infrastructure. The site is characterised by a high density of mature trees and vegetation and therefore careful consideration will be needed to manage the ecological impact of development
