Onward to start in Hyndburn

Housebuilder Bellway has won an appeal for 167 Westhoughton homes, twice refused locally, while also starting on site at the former Ingol Golf Club site in Preston.

The Lancashire branch of the Flintshire-based housebuilder has started building its 72-home scheme off Garstang Road north of Preston and work is due to complete by 2023. 

Plans for 117 homes across 12 acres in Briercliffe, north-east of Burnley town centre, have been approved after the developer scaled back its proposal following refusal last November. 

The housebuilder’s plans for 200 homes across 34 acres off Lower Burgh Way, south of Chorley, were turned down by the council over a lack of affordable housing. 

The Peel L&P-subsidiary housebuilder has been given the go-ahead to build 239 family and energy-efficient homes in Lancashire.

Preston City Council is set to approve the final draft of the Stoneygate masterplan today, which would deliver 1,600 homes across 61 acres in the city as part of a 15-year regeneration plan.

The city council wants to deliver 13,000 homes over the next 15 years, including the first 1,200 at Bailrigg Garden Village and a further 1,000 homes at Cuckoo Farm between Ridge Lea and Lancaster Farms Prison.

The council is expected to approve two residential developments this week, the latest phase of Kingswood Homes’ Green Hills neighbourhood south-west of Blackburn, and Landway Properties’ scheme off Ramsgreave Drive, north of the town centre. 

Carlisle-based Kingmoor Park Properties has sold the 12-acre Bridgewater Business Park to a development consortium that plans to build 230 affordable homes north of the site.
