Plans include up to 350 new homes and a dedicated community hub offering flexible space for co-working, meetings, and activities for local groups.

Siobhan Sweeney, North West Land Manager for Story Homes, said: “We are excited to bring forward plans for this significant development on a well-known local site. Our proposal not only addresses the strong demand for high-quality, affordable homes in Chorley, but also places emphasis on sustainability and community investment.

“Through the delivery of affordable homes, investment in green infrastructure, and the creation of new community spaces, we’re committed to ensuring that this scheme supports local people and enhances the wider area.”
