Construction News Image
Elan Homes is preparing to start work on a 110-home scheme in the Warrington village of Hollins Green.

The Cheshire-based business recently acquired a 10.5-acre site off Manchester Road.

The land was allocated for housing in the Warrington Local Plan 2021/22 to 2038/39, which was adopted in December 2023. Outline planning permission was secured in April 2024 and reserved matters approval for 110 homes was given by Warrington Borough Council in February 2025.

Philip Palmer, land director for Elan Homes in the North, said: "We're pleased to have acquired this key site, which will help us contribute to Warrington’s housing needs over the coming years. We’ll soon be starting work to prepare the land for new homes with a view to releasing properties for sale in autumn/ winter. The development, known as Hollins View, will offer 77 contemporary private sale properties, 33 affordable homes, plus an equipped play are and open space for residents to enjoy."

Hollins View will offer a choice of two, three and four-bedroom homes. Affordable homes including properties available for rent, shared ownership and under the First Homes scheme, will account for 30% of the new neighbourhood.

There will also be one self-build plot available as part of the development.

Prices for the homes will be announced at the launch.

A package of community investment was agreed during the planning process and will see Elan pay more than £900,000 to the local authority with allocations for education, sports and health facilities, and greenbelt mitigation.

Elan anticipates work on site at Hollins View will be completed in 2028.
