Peel Land has unveiled plans to deliver a mixed-use development at Westhoughton, Bolton.
The Lee Hall scheme will feature a circa 15-acre public park, up to 1,450 homes, around 25,000 sq m of employment space and a wide range of community facilities, including a care home, school and health centre.
A public consultation on the plans got underway yesterday (29 September) and runs until 13 October.
Nick Graham, associate planning director at Peel Land, said: “In the period since the previous planning decision for Hulton Park in 2022, the need for investment in new jobs, homes and infrastructure has become ever more urgent. The government has a clearer and stronger commitment to growth and opportunities for infrastructure funding investment are now emerging.
“We are therefore bringing forward a scheme called Lee Hall, which includes some parts of the previous Hulton Park project – homes, the Park Avenue link road and a wide range of community and environmental infrastructure – to be delivered separately from but alongside the wider Hulton Park golf project.
“Hulton Park remains a leading potential English candidate venue for the Ryder Cup and Peel continues to work with the Ryder Cup organisers with the support of Bolton Council and Greater Manchester Combined Authority to progress the opportunity. Further updates will be given on the Hulton Park golf and restoration proposals in the coming months.”
