Bickershaw, Wigan
Bickershaw near Wigan is a former coalfields site. It is part of English Partnerships’ National Coalfields Programme and also a Carbon Challenge site which has been brought forward by the North West Regional Development Agency.
The Carbon Challenge programme aims to accelerate the housebuilding industry’s response to climate change by fast-tracking the creation of a number of zero carbon communities. Its objective is to raise the environmental performance of new communities while still delivering quality and high standards of design.
The development is expected to deliver circa 650 new homes to Code level 6 and the other quality standards of the Carbon Challenge sites.
The total site area is approx. 18.3 ha (35.3 acres).
