Wain Group has posted a 23% increase in turnover despite volume being hindered by planning delays, it has reported in annual accounts.

The Warrington-based housebuilder has reported revenue of £340m for the year to 2 October, up on the £276m posted for the same period the previous year. 

It also increased its pre-tax profit by around 8% from £53.4m to £57.6m.
