The 47-home development will also have the added bonus of a play area refurbishment

Plans for a 47-home development to be built in place of a former school have been given the go ahead by Wigan Council’s planning committee. At the former St Mary’s Primary School site there will be a mix of apartments, bungalows and two to four bedroom houses just off Derby Street. They will all be affordable.

The development is forecasted to generate 20 two way trips in the peak periods of the morning and evening of the working week, a report stated. As this is below 30, no further modelling of junctions were required by the highways team.
