Loushers Lane Residential Scheme
A new vision
โWarrington means business,โ says local councillor Terry OโNeill on the future of Warrington and its economic growth. Warrington Borough Council decided to revamp the townโs infrastructure with a series of new developments. The masterplan, called Time Square, will revamp the town centre with offices, shops, restaurants and a cinema. A short distance away, just north of Loushers Lane, is a new residential area. This 6.5-ha site forms part of the Southern Gateway development area that will link to the town centre.
Delivering the future
RSK produced a landscape framework and development plan to provide an overall structure for the residential development. The framework also included character areas, land take, open spaces, infrastructure, ecological opportunities and responses to existing landscape features. The information formed the basis for the site layout and RSK keenly collaborated with project architects, ecologists, arboriculturalists and other specialist consultants.
Taking all this information into account, the development scheme was reduced from 159 to 128 units. RSK highlighted existing constraints that could not be worked around. While the overall aim was to help create the infrastructure to support a new and vibrant community, RSK put the theme of sustainability at the forefront of its efforts, which meant reducing the number of residential units for the area.

๐ฎ Natural wetlands are disappearing three times faster than forests: 35% of global wetlands were lost between 1970 and 2015, and overall, 85% have been lost since the 1700s.
๐ง It's #WorldWetlandsDay, which aims to raise awareness of the vital role of wetlands for people and the planet.
๐ We need to change our mindset around these essential habitats and their importance.
