About this home
The land previously benefited from planning permission under Wigan Council planning application A/07/68974. The previous planning permission has now expired, and any future development of the site would therefore be subject to a new planning application and obtaining the necessary planning consent.
Extending to approximately 0.14 acres, the site provides a substantial parcel of land with potential for consideration of future development, subject to planning, access, services, site constraints and all other necessary consents.
The previous planning history is an attractive feature for prospective purchasers, although buyers should make their own independent enquiries with Wigan Council regarding the former application, the current planning position and the potential for any future proposals.
Whelley is a popular and established residential area situated to the north-east of Wigan town centre. The surrounding area provides a mixture of residential properties, local amenities and open green spaces, while Wigan town centre is easily accessible and offers an extensive range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, bars and leisure facilities.
The area also benefits from access to the Whelley Loop Line, a popular walking and cycling route which connects towards Haigh Woodland Park and the surrounding countryside.
Transport links are convenient, with local bus services providing connections into Wigan and surrounding areas. Wigan North Western and Wigan Wallgate railway stations are also within easy reach, offering wider rail connections across the North West. The location provides good access to the M6 and wider motorway network for those travelling by road.
**Site Area: Approximately 0.14 acres** **Previous Planning Application: A/07/68974** **Planning Status: Previous permission expired**
This is an interesting opportunity to acquire a sizeable parcel of land in an established Wigan location with previous planning history and potential for future development, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.
**Prospective purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries with Wigan Council and undertake all appropriate due diligence before proceeding.**
