Villagers still fear houses could be built on green space despite council refusing to sell land
15.10.2022 - 10:31 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Villagers still fear houses could be built on green space in Standish - despite Wigan Council refusing to sell their own land to developers. Some 145 objections were received after the council announced the proposed sale of the land at Chorley Road - suggesting this section of the Whelley Loop Line walkway could play a vital part of the Standish Neighbourhood Plan agreed in 2019.
Local residents group Standish Voice, who provided the largest amount of objections, believe that there has been ‘too much housebuilding, too quickly, in Standish over the past decade’ and that this could set a precedent for other green space land being torn up for more house building.
The developer, Jones Homes, wanted to purchase the council owned land in order to build 83 homes - using it as an access point for the houses to be built behind - but objectors believe the area is already overpopulated and local infrastructure cannot keep up.

There were also concerns raised around the impact on mental health this would have with many using the area to walk amongst nature - something that would be lost if the development went ahead.
A spokesman for Standish Voice said: “We are pleased and grateful to Wigan Council for listening to local objections to selling off this piece of green space. This area was designated as amenity green space in the 2019 Standish Neighbourhood Plan and it would have been wrong to sell it for development.
“Of course, the decision will not prevent the greenfield area behind it being built out as housing as it has the first stage of planning permission. We asked the council to rescind outline permission on this land

Steal Their Style: Manchester trends we spotted from £3 at Zara and 'perfect' Primark £12 jumper
I love that feeling when you've been looking for a particular item of clothing for ages and finally find it. For me, most recently, that's been a Wham Christmas Jumper on Depop that I regretted not buying when it was in Primark about three years ago, from Depop. I also picked up a Miss Selfridge jumpsuit I had bought before lockdown which, by the end of lockdown, no longer fit, but managed to find it in a bigger size on Vinted.
