THE development of 370 new homes on land in south Warrington is progressing.

Barratt and David Wilson Homes – both part of Barratt Developments Plc – were selected by Homes England to construct the properties at Appleton Cross.

Work at the site, on Dipping Brook Avenue, was halted in March last year because of the coronavirus pandemic before resuming again.

Construction work at the site, which is fenced off, is progressing with the development beginning to take shape.

The scheme will include detached, semi-detached and mews style dwellings with associated car parking, landscaping and a public open space.

The developer has said it is intended that 30 per cent of the units, 111 properties, will comprise affordable housing.

Warrington Guardian:

The proposed affordable housing comprises 40 two-bed homes and 71 three-bed homes.

The tenure split of the affordable units equates to 55 properties as affordable rent and 56 properties as shared ownership.
