LAND WEST OF
HALE GATE ROAD, HALEBANK
WELCOME
We invite you to take part in our public consultation for the development of the Land to the West of Hale Gate Road, Halebank, Widnes.
​
Leading on from the allocation of the site for residential development in Halton Borough Council’s Local Plan (2014-2037), outline planning permission for up to 500 homes, later living units, a new primary school, a local centre and associated infrastructure and open space at the site was approved in September 2024. Keepmoat Homes is seeking to bring forward the detailed design as part of a Reserved Matters application to provide new homes in Widnes.
Keepmoat Homes is proposing to deliver c. 500 high-quality, much needed homes on the site in line the parameters of the outline permission. The scheme will also provide, a local centre, later living units, a site for a new primary school and playing fields, and open space with landscape features that will form part of the green infrastructure. Details for some elements of the wider development will be subject to a separate reserved matters application.
This website presents details of the proposed development and provides you with the opportunity to make comments on the scheme. Once this process is concluded, a detailed reserved matters application will be submitted to Halton Borough Council.
AN INTRODUCTION TO KEEPMOAT HOMES
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Keepmoat Homes is a leading partnership homebuilder.
We are a top 10 UK house builder with a track-record of delivering quality homes across the UK. However, bricks and mortar are only one side of our story.
Working alongside our partners, we have built thousands of new homes across the country, transforming brownfield sites into thriving new communities. We’re also leading the way for first time buyers. Around 70% of the homes we build help people take their first steps on the property ladder.
Our aim is simple: to deliver more of the high-quality, multi-tenure, new homes the UK needs – at prices people can afford, in places where they want to live.
We are delighted to have achieved 5-star builder status in the National Home Builders Federation (HBF) Awards. This is only awarded to homebuilders who receive a rating of at least 90% in the National New Homes Customer Satisfaction Survey.
