Our 'brownfield sites first' policy is working. We're partnering with developers to make sites available across the borough and in town centres for regeneration and to provide much needed housing.
This brand-new housing development near Queens Park is the first of many regeneration projects set to be delivered across Bolton. The location, a disused car park and brownfield site has been transformed into a 118-home estate at Chorley Street, and is now welcoming its first residents.
It comes as progress is made on other schemes, as part of our masterplan to make the town centre a more vibrant and attractive place to live, work and visit.
The new homes at Chorley Street are built to high environmental specification, highlighting Bolton’s commitment to meeting the goals set out in the Climate Strategy.
As a local authority, we've been proud to support local developers in making this a reality. We're getting on with the job of regenerating our borough. But we've got more to do and we will go further, with more sites starting development soon.
Leader of Bolton Council, Cllr Martyn Cox, said:
The council’s masterplan for Bolton Town Centre continues to deliver by converting empty brownfield sites into quality homes for local people.
Visitors to the town centre will have seen several regeneration projects already in progress, with more planned for 2022.
I am especially pleased about the positive environmental impact this development is having.
Earlier this year we worked with our key partners to develop a climate change strategy and this shows how we are all pulling together to make our borough cleaner and greener.
