The site is currently designated as green belt land in the Warrington Local Plan Core Strategy adopted in 2014. However, the site is due to be removed from the green belt in the updated local plan for Warrington and has been provisionally earmarked for residential development.
The updated local is expected to be formally adopted in early 2024.
The developer has submitted a hybrid planning application, with 186 of the proposed homes to be built and sold by Story Homes, and the delivery of one self-build plot.
The Warrington Road scheme will provide a mix of one to six-bedroom homes, with 2 and 2.5 storey homes delivered in a range of apartments, mews, semi-detached and detached houses and one self-build plot.
There will be a large area of public open space for sports, recreation and play.
