“Our vision for this site is to reinforce the traditional local character of Darcy Lever while supporting the demand for much-needed new housing here.  Our proposal would deliver an attractive and sustainable scheme where residents can reap the benefits of living adjacent to Leverhulme Park and all the wonderful leisure and sporting opportunities it provides.”

Leverhulme Park is the largest park in Bolton and features a community centre, athletics stadium, five-a-side football pitches, cricket pitches and a bowling club.

Furthermore, the site is five minutes away from Moses Gate Country Park, which extends to 750 acres and features nature trails, and horse and cycle routes.
