  3. Church Wharf

Church Wharf is a planned new neighbourhood right in centre of Bolton that everybody will want to be part of. Set alongside the River Croal, the £150m scheme will provide new homes and jobs and transform an underused piece of land into a thriving local community.

Church Wharf

Progress to Date

Muse Developments is working in partnership with Bolton Council to regenerate the site. The new neighbourhood will boost the local economy and breathe new life into the area. Muse Developments plans will make the River Croal the core of the development, the waterfront setting characterised by high quality public realm with a mix of 352 homes, cafes, restaurants, offices and other leisure uses.

Outline planning permission was granted in April 2019 and work has been ongoing on acquisitions and clearance of various sites in order to prepare for the developments with a considerable number of buildings having now been demolished.

Development Principles

  • To create a neighbourhood
    based on developing three distinctive areas that blend different characteristics and uses and link with adjacent areas.

  • Develop apartment blocks
    with an emphasis on iconic design and internal courtyards that provide high quality communal space for residents.

  • Utilise the River Croal
    by developing a waterfront setting characterised by high quality public realm and including a mix of new housing, cafés, restaurants and other leisure uses.
