Housebuilder unveils plans for 287-home scheme in Widnes

Housebuilder Miller Homes is bringing forward proposals for new high quality family homes to the north of Lunt’s Heath Road in Widnes, and is asking local residents for their views.

The company said Halton is growing and the demand for quality housing is greater than ever and it is the company’s ambition to support the sustainable growth of Widnes and create a modern and stylish community, in keeping with the aesthetic of the wider area, comprising new homes in a variety of sizes and designs.

Its proposal for Widnes will seek outline permission for up to 287 homes on land at Lunts Heath Road. The company said it offers a great opportunity to create a modern and stylish community in the town, which is not only sympathetic to surrounding natural features, such as Bowers Brook, but also enhances the green space in the area with generous landscaping provisions which will benefit new and existing residents alike.

Andy Pepper, senior strategic land manager at Miller Homes, said: “We are pleased to announce our plans for Widnes. Miller Homes has a strong track record in the North West and this development gives us a great opportunity to continue building sustainable homes in quality places.

“We pride ourselves on high quality design and materials, ensuring energy efficiency. Together, our developments represent a multimillion-pound investment into the local economy, supporting over 171 jobs in the process.”

He added: “We look forward to sharing our plans with the local community and hearing their feedback before submitting our detailed planning application to Halton Borough Council.”

Miller Homes will be presenting its proposals to stakeholders, close residents and the wider community via a virtual public exhibition from Wednesday, August 25 to Friday, September 10, via https://millerhomesconsult.co.uk/luntsheath/
