Warrington Council has signed off on a reserved matters application for the 12-acre site, formerly a US Airforce/RAF Burtonwood air base during World War II.

Grimster Planning drafted the application for Castle Green Homes, which was previously known as Macbryde Homes and recently rebranded. The plans focus on part of Zone 6 in the 575-acre Omega South masterplan in Warrington, being brought forward by Miller Developments.

Outline permission was granted in June 2016 for Omega South to include up to 1,100 homes, a hotel, extra care facility and retail park.

Castle Green’s portion of the project calls for a mix of two-storey terraced, semi-detached and detached units. There will be 17 homes with two bedrooms, 69 with three, and 59 with four. Of the 145 planned houses, 29 will be designated affordable.
