Rowland puts forward 174-home Chorley proposal
The housebuilder is eyeing 28-acres earmarked for redevelopment in the emerging Central Lancashire Local Plan.
Rowland Homes’ scheme would comprise 174 homes off Bagganley Lane, close to Junction 8 of the M61, and north-east of Chorley town centre.
The site forms the majority of an allocation in the draft Central Lancashire Local Plan for mixed use development comprising 6.5 acres of employment land and up to 200 homes, according to a planning statement prepared by Lichfields.
Rowland’s scheme proposes a mix of two-, three-, and four-bedroom properties, including 52 designated as affordable. Of these, 71% would be available for social rent.
The site would be accessed from Heapey Road and 408 parking spaces are proposed. 11 acres of the site would be designated as public open space, according to the plans.
MPSL is leading on design. To learn more, search for reference number 25/00907/FULMAJ on Chorley Council’s planning portal.
Weighing in favour of the application is Chorley’s current housing land supply position, which is 2.3 years against a statutory target of five, according to Lichfields.
