Planning committee poised to give scheme green light

Controversial plans for a 99-home development on land in Wigan which is no longer designated as Green Belt look set to be approved. The Bellway Homes development is earmarked for eight acres of land at Silk Street in the Mosley Common area of Tyldesley.

However, plans must comply with Mosley Common Masterplan, drawn up in 2022 which was drawn up in line with national planning policy. As a result,a new guided busway stop and travel hub located centrally within the site offering ‘best in class’ non-car transport are included in the scheme. They also say that the infrastructure in the area cannot cope with the current population. “The proposed access roads are not sufficiently large enough for the volumes of traffic that will result from further houses,” one says. “An alternative access road needs to be built.”
