The build-to-rent developer’s 158-home Croal Valley project is earmarked for approval by the council’s planning committee.
Situated on a key site bordered by the River Croal and part of Bolton Council’s £1.5bn regeneration of the town centre, the £25m project is to feature a mix of apartments and townhouses.
The project designed by architect Levitt Bernstein would be built on a largely vacant 2.7-acre plot off Central Street and Deansgate, opposite the former Beales/Whittakers department store.
Under the proposals, several buildings fronting Deansgate would be demolished to make way for the project.
Placefirst also proposes improvements to the River Croal embankment, to be led by landscape architect CW Studios.
