Peel Investments (North) Ltd have submitted a planning application for permission to develop a site known as Burgess Farm, located off Hilton Lane, Walkden.
The site is formed in two parts, an area of 3.95 hectares in the west which will remain as open land laid out as a Nature Park, and an area of 14.73 hectares which will accomodate the new housing together with further open space.
This scheme will provide approximately 350 new family homes of mixed sizes from 2 to 5 bedrooms of which 20% will be affordable units. It will also provide a new 4 hectare Nature Park, a comprehensive green-space network accomodating movement and footpaths through the site, a Local Equipped Area for Play (LEAP) and a new bus service connecting the new neighbourhood to Walkden town centre.
Although the public exhibition has finished, comments can still be submitted to Peel on the comments form (available within the downloads section) and sent electronically to burgessfarm@peel.co.uk or in the post to;
