Second chunk of 3,000-home St Helens garden village emerges

Taylor Wimpey is seeking consent to build 220 homes on a 20-acre parcel within the 316-acre Bold Forest Garden Village allocation.

The housebuilder has submitted outline plans for the project located on an agricultural field north of Gorsey Lane and south of St Helens town centre.

Homes ranging from one to five bedrooms are planned, with 30% of the units earmarked as affordable.

The site falls within the wider garden village, understood to be largest single housing allocation in Liverpool City Region.

Avison Young, SLR Consulting, and Social – in collaboration with St Helens Council – consulted on plans for the 3,000-home garden village last year.

Last September, Wain Estates lodged plans for the first scheme within the garden village boundary – 220 homes on the site immediately east of Taylor Wimpey’s.

Lichfields and Pegasus are advising Taylor Wimpey on the plans. To learn more, search for reference number P/2025/0674/OUP on St Helens Council’s planning portal.
