Rowland seeks views for 80 Bolton homes
The housebuilder has floated plans to local residents for a neighbourhood on five acres at the edge of Harwood.
Early plans from Rowland Homes suggest the 80 homes would be split across six residential zones, each with private shared drives to support small clusters of houses.
A public central green has also been proposed, alongside smaller green areas to encourage biodiversity.
Access would be off Arthur Lane at the site’s south, while a pedestrian route would run along its northern edge.
Although the site is technically Green Belt, both the applicant and planner Pegasus believe it would qualify for Grey Belt status to address insufficient housing supply.

Rowland Homes has stated some of the properties would be affordable, although no figure has yet been given.
The housebuilder added that the development would be “considerate and responsive to the existing area”.
Planning consultant Pegasus is leading on the consultation process.
Those keen to offer their opinions can do so by emailing [email protected] until 25 July, when the consultation is set to end.
Feedback will then be compiled before Rowland officially lodges an outline application to Bolton Council.
