A DISUSED builders’ yard in Latchford has been earmarked for 189 apartments as part of a £10m development. Planning permission is being sought to construct three five-storey blocks of flats on the former Beers Timber and Building Supplies yard on Station Road. In total, the scheme would see 33 one-bedroom apartments, 126 two-bedroom flats and 30 three-bedroom units created for private rent in addition to 232 parking spaces. The 1.75 hectare site, bordering the Cantilever Bridge and Manchester Ship Canal, has been vacant since March 2006 having first become a timber yard in 1965. Planning permission for 93 apartments and 38 sheltered accommodation units on the site had previously been granted by Warrington Borough Council in 2008. In its application, Liverpool-based developer Carpenter Investments said: “The proposed development will deliver a £10m investment in the area and 100 full-time equivalent construction jobs, and consolidate jobs within the client’s in-house management team. “The proposed development will deliver substantial benefits to the area - investment, jobs and much needed homes in an attractively designed development in a sustainable location. “The proposal will enable the previously developed site to be developed, bringing regeneration.
