Construction Trends in Chorley
Chorley's 44 million pound town centre regeneration programme covers three projects: a new civic square by the town hall with apartments and commercial space, a redevelopment of the former Bengal Street depot into 62 energy-efficient homes, and a refurbishment of Union Street offices. Housing growth is more constrained than neighbouring boroughs because Chorley town is bound by Green Belt on all sides except the east, with draft sites identified at Hill Top Farm in Whittle-le-Woods and land east of New Street in Mawdesley. Away from these schemes, established towns keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
