Through our new build housing programme, we are working proactively to deliver sustainable, affordable homes, in line with current and future housing legislation, and the need to play our part in tackling climate change.
Belle Green lane
The council actively manages its land and property to ensure that it is used to best effect to meet local priorities; including delivering much-needed good quality, affordable homes and the land at Belle Green Lane in Ince has been identified as a potential site for a small development of new homes.
Proposals
The proposal is to redevelop the site with new homes, which would include 12 directly accessible apartments. These would be owned by the Council for rent, designed to high space, energy efficient and sustainability standards to meet the demand for 1 bedroom accommodation in the area.
