Plans tabled for 109-home St Helens scheme
The Jones Partnership wants to redevelop a nine-acre Green Belt site of Elton Head Road south-west of the town centre.
Consultancy Cassidy + Ashton has worked with the developer to draw up outline proposals for 109 homes on the plot. The scheme would comprise a mix of two-, three-, four-, and five-bedroom houses.
While currently designated as Green Belt, the site is expected to be released for residential development by St Helens Council in the emerging local plan, according to Cassidy + Ashton.
There is precedent for a similar scale of development in the area. In 2015, Morris Homes won consent to build 114 homes on a neighbouring plot of Lowfield Lane.
The site abuts an area of dense woodland. Under The Jones Partnership’s plans, a pedestrian link between the housing development and the woods is to be created.
