Row over affordable housing erupts at planning meeting
Councillors and planning officers in Wigan have clashed over a 146-home development and the amount of affordable housing it will bring. Plans for Bellway Homes’ development on 11.5 acres of land formerly occupied by the Moss Bank Nurseries on Hooten Lane in Leigh, close to the A580 East Lancs Road, were approved by just one vote by the town’ planning committee.
