Summary
The proposal is to demolish an existing single garage and a retaining wall at the front of a home on Brock Mill Lane, then build a new detached double garage in its place in the front garden. The property sits within the Green Hill conservation area in Wigan Central. Around 60 homes lie within a couple of minutes' walk. Woodfield Primary School is about a 1-minute walk away. Because the site is in a conservation area, the council will look closely at whether the new garage could change how the street looks and feels.
