Turley helps secure approval for 1,050-home community at Mosley Common on behalf of Peel L&P

Two planning applications – a hybrid application for the northern parcel of land, comprising a detailed application for the first phase and outline for the remainder; and an outline application for the southern parcel of land -– have been approved by Wigan Council’s Planning Committee for a new community of up to 1,050 homes, north of Mosley Common in Tyldesley.

We provided expert Planning, EIA, Sustainability, Economics and Heritage services for Peel L&P, with the proposals including a first phase of development to be delivered by Northstone, alongside a wide range of community and infrastructure proposals.

A community and travel hub linking to the new bus stop to be provided on the Guided Busway, three new parks: Mosley Woods, Mosley Mosslands and Honksford Meadows, plus an expansion to St Johns Primary School are also included.

Olivia Carr, Associate Director, said: 

"We are proud to have contributed to the successful approval of the Mosley Common project, in collaboration with Peel L&P. This milestone marks a significant step forward in realising the vision for a thriving, sustainable community in the region which will deliver a positive impact to the local area.

"Our team has helped to ensure that the development will cater to both current and future generations to enhance the lives of its residents, creating a space for community growth and connectivity. We look forward to the project continuing to progress, meeting the needs of the local community through a mix of new homes, enhanced transport facilities and expanded green spaces."

A spokesperson for Peel added:

"We are delighted that the planning applications at Land North of Mosley Common have been approved by Wigan Council’s Planning Committee. It is great to see the shared vision for a sustainable community reach this key milestone after many years of work and extensive engagement.

"The new family and affordable homes will be delivered around the Leigh-Salford-Manchester Busway and a central parkland of new green spaces. We are excited to be working with the Council and Transport for Greater Manchester in delivering a new busway stop and travel hub. The expansion to St Johns Primary School will ensure the future of primary school places in the area. 

"We now look forward to bringing the proposals forward in a responsible way with our home-building partners and seeing all the wide-ranging benefits of the proposals being delivered locally."

The site is a draft allocation in the Greater Manchester Places for Everyone plan. Approval is subject to the signing of a Section 106 Agreement and referral to the Secretary of State. 

The Mosley Common Masterplan was approved by Wigan Council in September 2022.
