Couple's bid to rebuild 'not for purpose' house with energy efficient replacement
A couple in Wigan want to bulldoze their traditional detached home and rebuild it with an energy-efficient property, complete with heat pumps and solar panels. The current house on the corner of Wigan Road and Coniston Park Drive in Standish has been deemed ‘not fit for purpose’, because of several 'poor extensions' and 'sub-standard fabric', according to a design and access statement submitted to planners.
