Astley Business Park
Warehouse development
Wigan Council records planning permission in 2024 and an independent audit published in 2026. The audit reviewed how the application was handled; it did not reconsider whether the development should have been approved. A full case page can track construction, resident concerns, council replies and any formal updates.

Proposed homes and the Green Belt
Wigan Council describes a 61-hectare site proposed for removal from the Green Belt through the emerging Places for Everyone Plan, with a masterplan for around 1,100 homes. We will distinguish the adopted masterplan from any later planning application or consultation.

Local history
Older than the streets we see today
Tyldesley’s story includes a Roman road, medieval township, cotton mills and coal mining. Mosley Common grew around one of the area’s major collieries. This section will connect those layers to places residents know now.
- Roman route: Wigan Council says a Roman road is believed to have followed Elliott Street, linking Roman Wigan and Manchester; remnants were found during earlier development excavations. No direct evidence of a Roman settlement in Tyldesley has been found.
- 1760: the first cotton mill opened in Tyldesley; the town later had around twelve identifiable mills.
- 1860s–1960s: Mosley Common Colliery opened in the 1860s and remained part of the area’s mining story until around the 1960s.

Local knowledge, checked and shared.
Tyldesley & Mosley Common Local is an independent community information project in development. It aims to make public information easier to find, follow local concerns and point residents to the right official sources.
About the Project Founder
This page will introduce the local resident who started the project. The founder’s name can be added when they are ready. Any political intentions will be stated openly; this is not a council service or an official campaign website.
The local directory is operated by Robicon Digital Ltd. Paid listings are clearly marked “Sponsored” and kept separate from civic information. Resident experiences will be labelled as reports. Official facts will link back to their source. Corrections and updates will be dated.
Local decisions in progress
Open consultations
A practical guide to live consultations: what is proposed, who is asking, when responses close and where residents can read the official material.
