A HOUSEBUILDER has lodged plans with Bolton Council to build 207 family homes as part of the next phase of the £262m Rivington Chase redevelopment of the former Horwich Loco Works. Alongside the new homes, a large proportion of the northern section of the main link road across the site will be built by Bellway as part of this additional phase of development. In March 2021, planning permission was granted to Lane End Group to develop 116 affordable homes for Bolton at Home and Irwell Valley Homes and Morris Homes are currently on site building 393 houses, including a mix of attached, semi-detached and mews properties as well as six apartments.
