Construction of new homes near Chorley could start in spring, Anwyl Homes has announced as the business continues to expand. Construction of new homes near Chorley could start in spring, subject to planning, Anwyl Homes has announced as the business continues to expand. The Buckshaw Village based homebuilder has acquired its seventh site in the county of Lancashire – the division’s 11 th site overall. Covering 3.67 acres south of Parr Lane in Eccleston, the former grazing land already benefits from outline consent for 34 homes. The land was acquired from Metacre, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Northern Trust Company. A reserved matters application has been submitted to Chorley Borough Council, detailing Anwyl’s plans for the appearance of the homes, the layout of the development, landscaping and access. Anwyl Homes Lancashire managing director John Grime said:
Acquiring land is pivotal to our growth plans as we target increasing output by 45% over the next two years. This would see us deliver 400 new homes a year by 2024. While we recently announced plans to expand into Manchester and have built in parts of Merseyside, Lancashire remains our core area of operation and the Eccleston site is our seventh in the County. There’s been very little new build development in the Eccleston area and, having reviewed the local housing market, we’ve identified gaps in terms of need, which has helped shape our plans. Subject to reserved matters approval, we’re anticipating starting construction in spring 2023 with a view to releasing the first homes for sale next summer.
Anwyl’s plans include 22 four and five-bedroom detached homes family homes, which are in demand locally, plus 12 affordable properties that will be made available via a registered social landlord. Mature trees and hedgerows bounding the site will be retained and a new area of public open space provided in the south west corner of the site. Anwyl Homes will also make a green space contribution of almost £19,000 and contribute more than £54,000 towards playing pitches locally. Celebrating its 5 th anniversary year, Anwyl Homes Lancashire is currently operating across live sites in Barton, Longridge, Catterall, Warton and Burscough, in Lancashire; and Bowring Park, Liverpool, in Merseyside, and Winnington, Cheshire. The homebuilder is expanding into Greater Manchester and has plans to build 120 new homes in Heywood. For more on where Anwyl is building new homes see https://www.anwylhomes.co.uk/our-developments/
