MORE than £900,000 will be invested in the local area following the approval of plans for 110 new homes at Hollins Green, Warrington.
The funding will be allocated to education, sports and health facilities, and green belt mitigation, according to developers Prospect Homes.
The company purchased the 10.5-acre former Green Belt site off Manchester Road in April last year with outline planning. It then worked up a reserved matters application to Warrington Council which was approved last week. The plans include 77 contemporary homes for private sale plus 33 affordable homes, an equipped play area and green, open space.
Michael Orgill, managing director at Prospect Homes, said: “This site promises to be a positive addition to the area. The land was allocated for residential development within the new local plan and it’s one of the first Green Belt release sites to come through. We worked closely with Warrington Council to secure a quick resolution to enable much needed new homes to be delivered for the community.
“Along with new homes the site will achieve a 10 per cent Biodiversity Net Gain meaning habitats for wildlife will be left in a measurably better way. It’ll also retain and translocate existing hedges.”
Across the development a mix of two, three and four-bedroom homes will be built, to cater for local housing need.
The 30 per cent affordable homes will be available for rent, shared ownership and under the First Homes scheme.
Prospect Homes is part of the Riverside Group, one of the UK’s leading social housing and regeneration organisations. All profits from Prospect Homes are re-invested into Riverside to finance their social value work and support some of the most vulnerable in our communities.
