A statement from Pillar Construction states: “The site will be made up of family homes which will be in line with the existing properties in the area. It is our intention to deliver a scheme which respects the location of the proposed dwellings within the settlement of Broughton whilst enhancing the local sense of character, the materials used within the design of the development will reflect those of the surrounding area which will also seek to deliver a development of a high quality.”

The same site saw planning permission granted in 2008 for up to 50 homes but work has stalled on the site.
