Welcome – Have your say on the future of Winstanley Hall

Winstanley Hall is a Grade II* listed building which has suffered significant deterioration and is in very poor condition. Kingswood Homes have now taken ownership of Winstanley Hall, the outbuildings and immediate land surrounding the Hall.

Kingswood Homes has successfully invested in communities throughout the North West for over 15 years, developing high quality and sustainable residential schemes. A process of public consultation is being undertaken in order to present the emerging development proposal for the restoration of Winstanley Hall.

Kingswood Homes are committed to bringing the Hall back to its former grandeur whilst preserving its heritage. As part of this effort we are proposing a sensitively designed residential development to help fund this vital restoration.

The purpose of this consultation process is to seek comments from the local community which will be considered before the scheme is designed and a full detailed planning application is lodged with Wigan Council. It is important that the local community is involved.

Members of the professional team are here to answer any questions. Forms are available to record your comments online and we would encourage you to complete this as we appreciate your views.

Who are Kingswood Homes?

02

Kingswood Homes was established in 2009 to create new homes which are designed with the customer’s needs at heart. We don’t do identikit boxes crammed into small spaces. We believe in the importance of residents wellbeing, so our new homes and developments are designed to make people happy. We give residents more space to live inside, more open space to enjoy outside and better features to enjoy.

The success of Kingswood Homes has been recognised with a number of prestigious industry awards, including NHBC Pride in the Job award, ‘Boutique Housing Development of the Year’ for The Hawthorns at Insider NW’s 2023 Residential Property Awards and ‘Housebuilder of the Year’ at the North West Insider Property Awards 2022. Not only that but we achieved 5 star status with the HBF in our first year, and subsequent 3 years, which is a true testament to the quality of our homes and the hard work of our team.

Site Context

03

The buildings at Winstanley Hall are grade II* listed and date from circa 1573 to the 20th century. The Bankes family, who have owned the estate since the late 16th century, became very successful during the 18th and early 19th century from mining coal. Their wealth shaped the development of the Winstanley estate. Whilst Winstanley Hall, outbuildings and the surrounding land were sold to Dorbcrest Homes in 2000, the wider estate remains in the ownership of Tim Bankes, the descendant of the Bankes family.

Winstanley Hall has been under-occupied since WWII and has been vacant for over 25 years. The buildings are in very poor structural condition with widespread water ingress, areas of structural failure, localised collapse and some deliberate deconstruction. The Hall and Upper Courtyard are both included in Historic England’s Heritage at Risk Register.

BENEFITS OF THE DEVELOPMENT

Access and Movement

STRATEGIC LOCATION

The proposed development is designed to integrate with the existing transport network, providing connections and opportunities for all to access Winstanley Hall.

It will feature active travel routes that connect with the existing networks in the area, linking Winstanley Hall with the local amenities. This will not only encourage healthier lifestyles but also reduce reliance on cars.

Public transport connections are established in the area. Pemberton and Orrell train stations are conveniently located, with the nearest being just a 20-minute walk from the proposed development. These offer services to Wigan, Blackburn and Manchester. The nearest bus stops are operated by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) linking to school services. Other nearby bus stops provide public services to Wigan.

The proposed development is situated west of Wigan, offering convenient access to St Helens and Warrington. Its proximity to the M6 and M58 motorways ensures connections for both local and long-distance travel.

The proposed development will integrate with the surrounding area, providing inclusive, sustainable transport options and connections that benefit both new residents and the wider community.

Sustainability

08

A sustainable housing development offers numerous benefits, encompassing environmental, economic, and social advantages. It leads to reduced environmental impact, lower operational costs, and enhanced property values, while also promoting healthier living environments and contributing to resilient communities.

Winstanley Hall and the enabling housing development will be of low energy design, have a sustainable transport strategy (links with public transport modes and cycle parking), use of renewable energy, EV charging points, green infrastructure, improved health and wellbeing, and BNG enhancements.

Housing Mix and Affordability

09

A mix of housing types and sizes will be provided, likely to be from 1 bed to 6 bed homes. Kingswood Homes are revolutionising homebuying with the industry-leading Shape Your Home concept that gives customers the power to choose from a range of floor plans. Customers then have a home that fits with their lifestyle. Some customers want larger bedrooms, some more bathrooms or open plan living to spend time together as a family, this allows the homes to appeal to a wider market and audience.

Affordable home provision will be assessed during the planning process ensuring local needs are met.
