Carlisle-Based Housebuilder Submits Plans for New Homes at Former Theme Park
- In 2025, Story Homes lodged a preliminary planning proposal with Chorley Council to construct as many as 350 residences on the site previously occupied by the Camelot Theme Park in Charnock Richard.
- The application follows previous rejections of plans for 420 homes in 2014 and 195 homes in 2018 due to public objections and Green Belt concerns.
- The development plans include various home configurations designed to accommodate individuals and families at different life stages, including those purchasing their first home, expanding households, and those seeking smaller residences. Additionally, it features a community hub offering office, meeting, and group activity spaces.
- Siobhan Sweeney of Story Homes expressed enthusiasm about progressing a major project on a prominent local site, highlighting the focus on affordable housing and sustainability.
- If approved, the scheme would deliver 50% affordable housing, a 10% biodiversity net gain, restored water flow of Syd Brook, and more than £2.5 million in infrastructure contributions including improved bus services.
