Description
The Land off Ravenswood Drive benefits from Permission in Principle for the development of up to 9 residential dwellings. Situated to the north of Hindley, the site enjoys excellent connectivity to the surrounding towns of Wigan and Bolton, as well as the cities of Manchester and Preston. Hindley railway station is located approximately 0.3 miles to the west, providing convenient commuter links, while the nearby M61 and M6 motorway networks offer superb regional accessibility.
Extending to approximately 2.4 acres (0.97 hectares), the site currently comprises an area of undeveloped land, as outlined red on the site plan. The land benefits from Permission in Principle granted by Wigan Council under application reference A/23/95800/PIP for “up to 9 dwellings”. Owing to the scale of the site, there is potential for purchasers to explore amendments to the existing planning consent, subject to the necessary approvals, to accommodate an alternative or enhanced residential scheme tailored to individual development requirements.
This represents an excellent opportunity to deliver an attractive residential development within a highly sought-after location. Sites of this nature are seldom brought to the open market, offering purchasers a rare chance to acquire a substantial development opportunity with significant future potential.
