PEX HILL, WIDNES

Realising a place shaped by its landscape, where a connected network of green spaces, streets and public spaces supports a diverse and thriving community.

Illustrative Masterplan for the Pex Hill development

The vision for Land at Cronton Lane is to create a new neighbourhood of around 440 homes, with improved access to the adjacent Pex Hill Country Park and new state-of-the-art sports facilities delivered as part of the development. A network of connected green spaces and distinctive landscape settings, shaped by the retention and integration of existing landscape features, will provide opportunities for recreation, play and exercise, supporting active and healthy lifestyles.
