Northstone has submitted plans to deliver high quality new homes on land west of Stothert Street in Atherton, Wigan.

The application comes after Northstone held a public consultation on their plans earlier this year. The application is for over 100 energy-efficient homes in a variety of sizes and styles. The proposed neighbourhood will offer new build homes for rent and promises to provide residents with long term tenancies that are managed by community focused landlord, Letta. 

Bernadette Barry, Senior Development Manager at Northstone, said: “The submission of our plans for the land west of Stothert Street follow a public consultation earlier this year where local residents had the opportunity to provide feedback.   

“In light of the current housing crisis Northstone, in partnership with Letta, wants to ensure local renters aren’t forgotten. Our plans will bring high-quality homes to Wigan, to ensure people who rent have the opportunity to live in modern, sustainable new builds that are managed by a trusted and responsible landlord.  

“We also recognise that new tenants are looking for more than just a house, they want to live a neighbourhood which has an inclusive and inviting environment. That is why our plans include dedicated green space surrounding our homes for use by residents and local people, so that the whole community can benefit from this new neighbourhood. We are proud of our plans and look forward to the application being considered by Wigan Council.”

Letta, also part of Peel L&P, is a new suburban Build to Rent company focused on increasing and improving the supply of North West energy efficient homes.
