New images capture how the new 1,050-home community could impact Mosley Common

New images released in a masterplan show what a new 1,050-home development could bring to Mosley Common.

The original 1,100 home masterplan has been scaled down and split into two separate applications after it was green lit by Wigan Council in September 2022. It will now have two sites on either side of the Leigh Guided Busway.

Peel L&P’s massive plans have been reduced by 50 homes as the developer seeks to build a new community submerged within biodiverse green space.

Currently the land north of Mosley Common, in Tyldesley, is used as grazing space for farm animals and agriculture. Sitting on the border of Wigan and Salford, this would be one of the key developments included in the Places For Everyone - a Greater Manchester wide plan which has been submitted to the Secretary of State for the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.

The plans submitted for the land north of Mosley Common will connect the northern and southern section of the site - ‘Twire’ - creating extensive parkland and pedestrian routes throughout the area.

Peel L&P also has ambitions to include sports and play facilities as well as a new green corridor to bring 'ecological improvements' to the area with an extensive new parkland including three new parks. According to the design and access statement, at the heart of the proposals for the Land North of Mosley Common is the 'vision to create truly distinctive neighbourhoods which offer a wide range of new homes to meet the needs of different sectors of the community and for all stages of life'.

The different areas of the site will include: Mosley Woods, Bridgewater Village, Tyldesley
