Plan for 57 homes looks set for green light - despite 170 objections
A development of 57 homes in Standish looks set for approval when it goes before Wigan planning committee next week, despite objections from more than 170 residents and local councillors. One of the UK’s largest house builders, Persimmon Homes, wants to put the homes on a six-acre on land on Pepper Lane at the back of an empty bungalow, which will be demolished if the plans get the go-ahead.
