PLANS for 63 new homes on Lancots Lane have been submitted.

MCI Developments, part of home builder Keepmoat Homes, has submitted plans for a development of one and two-bedroom flats, and two, three and four-bedroom houses, on the former industrial site.

The properties are to be made available as affordable rented properties.

The developer hopes the plans will help contribute towards the ongoing regeneration of the area.

Keepmoat is also working alongside Lambert Smith Hampton, who are acting as planning consultants on the site.

The plans for the site include landscaping communal open spaces, and providing cycle paths.

The location boasts transport links into St Helens and further afield, with St Helens Junction railway station less than a mile away.

Alex Wood, regional managing director at MCI Developments, said: “MCI Developments are currently undertaking two developments in St Helens and our proposed scheme at Lancots Lane will help MCI continue to successfully deliver affordable housing in the area.

"We’re looking forward to delivering this affordable housing scheme in conjunction with Jigsaw Homes and bringing the site back into active use.”
