Warrington Council’s planning committee followed recommendations to approve plans for 27 acres of public open space which features as part of a much wider area masterplan for 1,200 homes.
Countryside Partnerships, part of Vistry Group, is behind this first phase of the project set for Green Belt land bordering the M62, Poplars Avenue, Windermere Avenue, and Grasmere Avenue.
This was a reserved matters application the outline planning permission was granted by the Secretary of State in November 2021 for a mixed-use development on the wider 170-acre site.
The Countryside scheme features 405 homes, comprising two-, three- and four-bedroom properties with individual parking spaces.
Once built 171 of these homes will be available for shared ownership and 65 for affordable rent tenure via the housing group, Torus.
The remaining 169 properties will be sold on the open market under Vistry’s Bovis and Linden Homes brands.
A community centre to replace the Radley Common Community Centre features as part of the development that includes three full-size adult football pitches and two junior pitches.
Lichfields, Professional Consult, and Eddisons are featured on the project team.
