Exhibitions put plans for former mill in spotlight
Resdidents are being asked for their views on the proposed redevelopment of the former Vernon Carus mill in Penwortham.
Bovis Homes wants to build up to 400 homes on the 23- hectare site in Factory Lane.
A public exhibition of the plans will take place at Vernon Carus Sports Club in Factory Lane on Friday, February 8, from 10am to 6pm and Saturday, February 9, from 10am to 4pm.
The developer hopes to build a mixed-use development including new homes, business space, and community facilities.
David Shard, Bovis Homes regional managing director, said: "We want to breathe new life into this disused factory site and provide the right kind of housing, employment and leisure opportunities for local people.
"In order to do this, we want to hear the views of local people and get their feedback.
"We hope this process will enable us to prepare a planning application that will deliver a number of benefits."
The proposals will be online from February 8 at www.penworthammills.info. Closing date for submissions is February 22.
