Plans submitted for new homes in Penwortham
Plans for 225 new homes in Penwortham have been submitted to South Ribble Borough Council by housebuilder Persimmon Homes Lancashire, bringing forward the final detail of this long vacant site.
The housebuilder has submitted two applications, a Section 73 application for a further 71 units to be delivered as part of Phase 1b and a reserved matters application for 154 homes which will form phases 2&3 of the development.
Persimmon received approval for the first 49 homes on the development earlier this year, which is now being sold as Mill Green Gardens.
The new homes have been specifically designed to meet the needs of the local housing market – ranging from one to four-bedroom.
The development proposes a variety of house types including apartments, townhouses, semi-detached, and detached dwellings.
In total across the two applications 62 homes will be transferred to housing association partners, 17 from the Section 73 application and a further 45 from the reserved matters application.
Public open space will be provided on site and additional planting of native hedgerows and trees will take place. In addition, bird and bat boxes and hedgehog highway routes will also be provided on the development.
Financial contributions will also be made towards local sports and recreation.
Homes will incorporate a mix of renewable and low carbon technologies, including solar PV panels, EV charging points and heat pumps.
Rachael Graham, Planning Director at Persimmon Lancashire, said: “We’re delighted to be working with South Ribble Borough Council and local stakeholders to deliver much needed new housing in Penwortham.
“The proposed development would provide a wide range of high-quality, energy efficient homes, with something available for all buyers at prices people can afford.
“We look forward to continuing our work with South Ribble Council as we progress these applications through the planning system.”
