en.Wedoany.com Reported - Bloor Homes is seeking public feedback on plans to develop a reserved site off Cronton Lane in northwest England, proposing up to 450 homes—approximately 25% of which would be affordable housing—alongside the redevelopment of the former Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) sports club site.
The company purchased the six-acre former Jaguar Land Rover Sports & Social Club site last November, integrating it into its ongoing new community development project. The project is located north of the town center and south of Junction 7 of the M62 motorway.
As a core element of the proposal, Bloor Homes plans to build a new sports facility on the former club site, partnering with the Rugby Football League (RFL) and its RFL Community Trust. The planned sports facility includes natural turf pitches for rugby league and football, an all-weather artificial grass bowling green, and a new clubhouse. The design has been developed in direct consultation with grassroots sports providers to assess and meet local community needs for sports facilities.
The public consultation runs from now until June 17. A spokesperson for Bloor Homes stated that the company is committed to creating a community that meets local needs through genuine engagement, highlighting the urgent demand for affordable housing and noting that redeveloping the sports club site is a key pillar of the overall plan. An RFL spokesperson said the sports facility is expected to become a valuable local asset, providing more fitness opportunities for people of all ages and abilities with support from the RFL Community Trust. Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) closed the sports club in 2024.
Founded in 1969, Bloor Homes is the largest privately owned housebuilder in the UK. The RFL is the national governing body for professional and amateur rugby league in England, and its Community Trust is the official foundation of the RFL, dedicated to advancing the sport's social impact.
