A 56-acre site west of Hale Gate Road could be transformed into a residential-led scheme, under proposals put forward by the developer.

In addition to around 500 homes, Harworth Group’s proposals also feature a 20,000 sq ft local centre, a 100-bed care scheme and a primary school.

The developer predicts the scheme could generate £1m a year in council tax revenue for Halton Council.

Harworth has launched a consultation on its plans, drawn up by masterplanner Randell Thorp and planning consultant Avison Young.

The consultation will run until 30 May and a planning application is due to be submitted this summer.

The Hale Gate site is earmarked for residential redevelopment in the Halton Delivery and Allocations Plan, adopted earlier this year.

Housing association The Regenda Group will deliver the development on the former Woodhead Street car park in New Ferry.
