Hurstwood Homes has been granted full reserved matters planning permission to develop a five acre residential site in Rossendale.

He added: “Throughout the design process, we maintained an open dialogue with Rossendale Council and made the relevant suggested changes to create a scheme that would complement the town.

“Newchurch Meadows has been sensitively designed using natural finishes to create a seamless transition between the scheme and the local agricultural style surroundings whilst respecting the existing ecological landscape.”

Hurstwood Homes plans to start work on site in September, with the first houses being released to market soon after and the first phase of houses available for occupation late 2021.

Based in Manchester, Hurstwood Homes is part of the Hurstwood Holdings Group.
