Landowner Tarleton Estates has selected the housebuilder to deliver the first 120 units of a wider 830-home masterplan, on land off Bee Fold Lane.
Wigan Council granted outline planning permission to the 76-acre masterplan last year and Bloor Homes is working up detailed proposals for three- and four-bedroom houses, due to be submitted this month.
Subject to gaining approval, construction of the Atherton scheme could start this summer, according to the housebuilder.
The wider site, located south of Atherton town centre, is split into three parcels.
Under Tarleton Estate’s outline consent, the other two parcels include plans for 170 homes, to be accessed via Crab Tree Lane, and proposals for 540 homes accessed from Leigh Road.

Leave our green land alone !! We dont want any more over priced houses in our town of Atherton

I think it’s time land and other empty buildings are used as housing instead of building on the green spaces. You can’t keep cutting down trees and building on green country land and expect no consequence for your actions. More than ever now, our country side and green places are important.
Overpriced houses built on land that is more valuable how it is. Full of nature. I think it’s wrong and unecessary to build these houses. It’s yet again all about money!

We dont have the infrastructure to support all these houses. Add together all those on north road the old factory as well as Beefold Lane we are getting swamped. We must also think out the houses proposed for Hulton Estate and North Leigh. Please leave us with our green spaces.

Very concerned about the Status of Crab Tree Lane Atherton, with its traffic and parking problems from the junction off Hamilton Street together with two schools in the same area
