Steven Abbott Associates Helps Revitalise Orrell Site
North West based Steven Abbott Associates (SAA) has secured planning permission for 21 dwellings in Orrell, Greater Manchester.
Working on behalf of residential property developer Hagan Homes, the independent town planning practice undertook lengthy pre-application discussions with local planning authority officers at Wigan Council to ensure that the scheme met the housing needs of the local community.
Approval has been granted for 21dwellings consisting of houses and apartments. Christie McDonald, Associate at SAA comments: “The SAA team has worked closely with Wigan Council for two years on this project. The site is in a prominent location on the edge of the green belt, so it was vital to all involved that the development not only delivers much needed homes to Orrell, but also improves the aesthetics of the area, which currently consists of an old petrol filing station and a former vehicle repair business.”
The architect of the scheme is Tony Lawson, of Lawson Margerison Partnership in Chorley.
