Story submits 187-home Culcheth proposals 

The housebuilder’s first foray into Warrington features a mix of one- to six-bedroom properties with 30% earmarked as affordable.

Story Homes’s 187-property proposals centre on a 21-acre site off Warrington Road and Holcroft Road in Culcheth.

The site is allocated for up to 200 homes in Warrington’s draft local plan, which is due to be adopted early next year.

Whilst 186 of the proposed homes will be built and sold by Story Homes, the plans also seek permission for the delivery of one self-build plot.

There will be a range of house types available including bungalows, apartments, semi-detached, and detached houses. The plans also incorporate an area of open space running through the development, and a play area for use by both new and existing residents in the area.

Siobhan Sweeny, land manager for Story Homes North West, said: “The submission of our application is an exciting step forward for our business as we continue to venture into new areas of the North West.

“Following a period of consultation with statutory consultees and the public, we’ve worked hard to design a scheme that takes into account the local context, and the needs and opinions of the local community.

“The high quality, high specification homes we deliver are designed with modern living in mind and feature flexible open plan layouts. These are matched by attractive, unique street scenes.”
