Affordable homes plan for former garage site

PLANS for four new affordable apartments for rent on land off Longshaw Street, Warrington are to be put to borough council planning chiefs.
The apartments, within a two-storey block, sub-divided centrally and joined by a short, flat-roofed link, is proposed for a former garage site which was cleared several years ago and is currently an area of open, hard-standing.
To the north is open land, to the east the rear gardens of houses in Marshall Avenue and to the south and west, semi-detached properties on Dagnall Avenue and Longsaw Street.
Dallam local centre is within a two-minute walk and has a convenience store, pharmacy and 20 new properties approved in 2015 as part of a wider regeneration of the area.
The borough’s development management committee is being recommended to approve the scheme.
