Bellway lodges plans for 458 homes at Horwich Loco Works
Spread across two phases, the projects are the latest to come forward within the 1,700-home masterplan.
Bellway Homes has submitted a pair of applications for a combined 485 homes across two plots totalling 32 acres at Horwich Loco Works.
The larger of the two projects would deliver 342 homes across 24 acres.
Another eight-acre plot is earmarked for 116 homes.
The applications can be viewed by searching for reference numbers 21233/25 and 21565/25 on Bolton Council’s planning portal.
Astle Planning & Design and Asteer Planning are advising Bellway on the plans.
Bellway already has consent for more than 400 homes on various sites across the £262m masterplan area, known as Rivington Chase.
The 150-acre scheme is being delivered by Novo Bluemantle Group in partnership with Bolton Council, Homes England, and HKR.
The project proposes the redevelopment of the former locomotive works in Horwich, with its promoters being granted outline permission in 2015.

Before we have more homes the road in the estate needs completing and we need more infrastructure. Schools, hospitals etc

Regarding all this extra pressure on the sewer system ?
Already. What plans have they to deal with waste water ?
This crap council needs to take a look and lesson from the Victorian’s who planed for 100 years, of which still take care of 150 years on.
Their has to be a redoing of the sewers to allow them to work for another 50 to 100 years hence, Thier must be a Bazaljette of today who has the forsight a new double the size sewer system or triple it. Because if we don’t our children’s children, will be facing the even bigger stink across the whole of the United Kingdom!
So perhaps these building companies making millions should have to , install a totally new system to coup with the extra effluent being forgoten as soon as it goes beneath the ground. Instead of giving the local people the burden of having to pick up the cost when flooding happens, because if you have half a brain cell you’ll know it’s only a matter of time!
