Hive Homes, who have been tasked with setting up to support housing growth across the region by GMCA, have promised to retain as much open public space as possible
A 101-home development alongside a motorway link road could be coming to a section of open grassland in Wigan. Hive Homes have submitted an application for the Phoenix Way site which would be built adjacent to a 325-home development and contribute to the construction of a M61 link road through Wigan.
The developers are looking to cash in on the wildlife corridor on the old railway line to the south of the site as they hope to immerse the homes into the green space, the say. The homes would be a stone's throw away from both the centre of Ince and Amberswood Nature Reserve - the latter of which consists of a series of small lakes, ponds, woodlands and wetlands.
“The proposals provide an opportunity to deliver high quality housing, including much needed affordable housing, on a brownfield site within a sustainable location within an existing urban area,” a planning statement said.
