House builder seeks more land in Warrington

A HOUSEBUILDER who has already completed three successful developments in the Warrington area is keen to acquire more land to satisfy demand.
While timescales for Warrington’s Local Plan are yet to be finalised, Elan Homes is keen to deliver much-needed new homes in the area.
The company has a proven track record and is well-placed to help deliver the target of 18,900 new homes (945 per year) by 2037.
Philip Palmer, land director for Elan Homes in the North, explained: “Timescales for the updated Warrington Local Plan are yet to be confirmed, but in order to maintain momentum in delivering housing it’s imperative that we continue to work with land owners and local authorities to tackle the housing shortage.
“The developments we’ve progressed in the Warrington area demonstrate our ability to take a flexible approach, adapting our plans to fit the local housing market. We look forward to speaking with landowners and their representatives to understand where we could unlock development potential and contribute to the council’s targets for delivering new homes.”
Elan has built 15 family homes at Culcheth Green, 14 at Walton and 25 at Croft.
In doing so, they have agreed to contribute almost £50,000 to Culcheth High School and create 16 acres of parkland at Croft.
The Cheshire-based business has also secured planning approval for 26 homes on the site of the former St Catherine Of Sienna Roman Catholic Church Newton Road, Lowton.
“Elan is proud to be playing its part in delivering much-needed new homes across Warrington and the surrounding area,” Mr Palmer added.
“Housing developments bring added value to communities. Along with providing new homes, they generate investment in facilities and offer employment.”
Elan’s Northern business will consider development sites, with or without planning up to 10 hectares in size, with the strategic arm of the business seeking and working on much larger parcels of land, within the region and across the country.
