West Leigh Waterfront

The outline planning permission granted on this site established the principle of residential development on the site. Taylor Wimpey have now submitted an application called the Reserved Matters, which will seek approval for the layout, scale and appearance of our homes and the landscaping proposals with a view to begin construction during 2025 and residents moving into their homes in late 2026.  To see a copy of the application, please click here.  

The approved development will also deliver the necessary drainage infrastructure, public open space, new public routes across the site, enhancements to the canal side and a new bridge over the Leeds-Liverpool Canal. Two new vehicular accesses to serve the development will be created in the form of a new three arm roundabout on Plank Lane and a new arm to the existing roundabout on Firs Lane.
