BDW eyes 195 Warrington homes
Summary
Barratt David Wilson has submitted an Environmental Impact Assessment screening report for a proposed outline residential scheme of 195 homes on greenfield land in Walton, south of Warrington. The site lies within the Warrington Green Belt and partly overlaps land safeguarded for the proposed Warrington Western Link Road, with the applicant arguing that a full EIA should not be required.
Why it matters
The proposal sits in a sensitive planning context involving Green Belt land, safeguarded transport infrastructure and potential environmental screening requirements. Residential surveyors may need to track how these constraints affect site value, deliverability and planning risk in the Warrington area.
Key points
- BDW is seeking outline consent for 195 homes near Springbrook off Chester Road.
- An EIA screening report has been lodged to assess whether a full EIA is needed.
