Taylor Wimpey submits detailed plans for new Formby development of 270 new homes

Taylor Wimpey North West has submitted a reserved matters planning application for a new residential development comprising 270 new homes at Brackenway, Formby.

The new development will provide a mixture of mews, semi and detached two-storey homes to suit a variety of needs, 30% of which will be affordable housing.

With a focus on good design, sustainability and place making, this new development will include approximately 36 acres of green space, delivered through an extension of the local nature reserve to the north of the development. Open grassland and drainage ponds will be created, as well as a new on-site play area, ecology enhancements, improved footpath connections throughout the site and to the local nature reserve, upgrades to the footpath and signage along Formby Bridleway, as well as pedestrian improvements along Deansgate Lane North.

The proposed scheme will be accessed via a new junction due to be constructed off Formby Bypass as well as an emergency access onto Paradise Lane, to be controlled by a collapsible bollard.

In addition, Taylor Wimpey will contribute £178,200 towards the Sefton Coast Mitigation Scheme.

Ian Harrison, Land and Planning Director at Taylor Wimpey North West, said: “We are pleased to have submitted our planning application for a new development in Formby. The development will provide high quality new homes and investment for the local area.

“We are confident that our proposals will have a lasting, positive impact on the community and we are looking forward to receiving a decision on our planning application from Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council in the near future.”
