Homebuilder unveils Clayton-le-Woods development

North West-based housebuilder Wain Homes has acquired land to build 70 new homes in Clayton-le-Woods.

The 6.5-acre former equestrian site off Wigan Road already has planning permission for a range of two, three, four and five-bedroom homes.

The development will see the builder return to the Chorley area for the first time since completing its Richmond Park development in nearby Whittle-le-Woods in 2019.

Construction work on the new development, to be called Farriers Chase, is expected to get underway in late Spring 2025 with the first homes for sale set to be released in Autumn 2025. Affordable homes will make up nearly one third of the development.

To support the local community, Wain Homes will contribute towards new or improved sports pitches and sports facilities within the borough as identified in the Chorley Open Space Recreation Strategy 2020-2036.

The housebuilder will also contribute to the improvement and expansion of the existing play area at Bradfield Close.

A spokesperson for Wain Homes, said: “Returning to this part of Lancashire sees Wain Homes creating another sustainable new community in its heartland, having built its first ever property in nearby Standish more than 50 years ago.

“We are expecting high demand for our energy efficient homes in Clayton-le-Woods. It is a sustainable location and within close proximity to existing transport infrastructure, providing access to local and regional employment opportunities for new residents.”

Wain Homes is currently building 13 new homes developments across the North West, including Pinfold Manor in Broughton.
