Persimmon lodges plans for 85 Wilpshire houses

Proposals include a mix of detached, semi-detached, and terrace homes to be delivered on the 12-acre greenfield site off Salesbury View.

Persimmon Homes has submitted plans to Ribble Valley Council to build 85 houses, featuring six two, 40 three-, 35 four-, and four five-bedroom properties.

Of the 85 homes, 25 would be available for affordable rent, making up almost 30% of the development.

Proposals also include nine properties that will be allocated as over-55 accommodation, four of which are within the affordable housing allocation.

All houses within the proposed development would be allocated a minimum of two car parking spaces, which include off-road parking and detached garages. There would be a further ten visitor parking spaces provided across the site.

The project team includes WSP, Edge Consulting Engineers, ERAP, Pegasus Group, Geol Consultants, SCP, and Trevor Bridge Associates.
