In this area we propose nearly all new employment development and about 90% of new housing to 2026. We believe we can transform the economy and the environment to improve the borough for the future and create ‘sustainable communities’. ‘Sustainable communities’ are safe and attractive places that people really want to live in. They have a range of housing, jobs and services and facilities including schools, doctors, local shops, café, pub and play space. Other larger services and facilities would be easily accessible by walking, cycling or public transport. They will help An opportunity to comment on the L reduce our contribution to climate change. Development in the east-west core area will help provide investment in much needed new and improved infrastructure, including east-west transport links, new and improved schools, ‘green infrastructure’ and better broadband. It will open up new sites to provide jobs where they are most needed. At the same time we need to help more people in the borough to get these jobs. In proposing new roads we do not intend to encourage more cars. We want public transport to be much more reliable as well as making walking and cycling much safer and more pleasant.

  • Housing Needs Assessment Sub-Area Profiles
    Housing Needs Assessment 2020 Sub-Area Profile Wigan Council Housing Needs Assessment Affordable Housing Need – Wigan Sub-Area Profiles 1 Housing Needs Assessment 2020 Sub-Area Profile Executive Summary Introduction The Wigan Housing Needs Assessment (HNA) 2020 provides the council with up-to-date evidence to support the local plan and its future development. It also provides detailed, robust, and defensible evidence to help determine local housing priorities and to inform the council’s new housing strategy. This research provides an up-to-date analysis of the social, economic, housing, and demographic characteristics of the area. The HNA identifies the type and size of housing needed by tenure and household type. It considers the need for affordable housing and the size, type, and tenure of housing need for specific groups within the borough. The HNA (2020) incorporates: • extensive review, analysis, and modelling of existing (secondary) data. • a comprehensive household survey (Primary Data) • interviews with estate and letting agents operating within the borough; and an online survey of stakeholders. The evidence base for the housing needs assessment (HNA) has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the February 2019 National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and associated Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) and the findings provide an up-to-date, robust, and defensible evidence base for policy development, in accordance with Government policy and guidance. Considering the forthcoming new affordable homes programme Wigan Council are keen to see the affordable housing needs of the borough considered when registered providers are seeking to bring forward new schemes. Our HNA provides us with robust data at a sub area level which should allow us to shape the affordable housing offers in each of these areas and meet our defined housing needs.

Services are listed alphabetically under school names. Wigan School Bus Timetables 2016/17 Page 1 of 36 17/08/2016 An introduction to School buses and concessionary fares for students in Greater Manchester Passengers can pay a fare to the driver for each journey shown on this timetable. However, students will need to show an IGO pass to travel at the concessionary (reduced) fare. If students do not have an IGO pass, they will have to pay a higher fare. Most of the journeys shown in this timetable are funded by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM). The majority of TfGM funded services charge a standard fare, although some journeys do have additional fare bands. Daily return tickets are available on many services. In some cases, the return ticket can also be used for travel on other journeys which serve similar areas – even if it is provided by a different operator. If a daily return ticket is available on TfGM funded services, students can also buy a weekly scholars ticket, which costs £6.50. These are available from the bus driver on all services where they are applicable. To help the driver, please try to have the correct fare when buying your ticket. A summary of fares and ticketing information on all school services included in this timetable can be found at http://www.tfgm.com/journey_planning/Pages/back-to-school.aspx This timetable also shows journeys which are operated without funding from TfGM – these are known as commercial journeys.

The outline permission expires on the later of February 2018 or two years after approval of the first reserved matters planning application. The land is owned by North Leigh Park Group Limited (in administration). There are various developers interested in purchasing NLPGL's land interests to bring the site forward comprehensively. A developer is anticipated to be appointed in mid- 2018. The site is contaminated associated with former industrial activities, with site remediation anticipated to commence in Summer 2019 and completed in late 2020 for the whole site. Reserved Matters applications have been submitted for two parts of the site, see SHLAA sites 0001A and 0001B. 1,539 homes reflects the part of the site not subject to Reserved Matters applications. The outline permission requires the completion of the link road prior to the completion of the 400th home (including the 261 proposed in SHLAA 001A and 0001B).
