What infill plots we want near Leigh
Around Leigh, infill plots are often side gardens or gaps left between older houses; the street's character usually sets the design. Sitting about 12 miles west of Manchester, Leigh is within Greater Manchester, with Atherton and Tyldesley close by.
- Gaps in a street frontage between houses or other buildings
- Small yards or garages between houses
- Plots large enough for one or more homes with parking
- Land with or without an earlier planning history
Most of the city-region is covered by a joint strategic plan, and Metrolink and rail corridors are a focus for higher-density homes. The eastern edge around Saddleworth includes part of the Peak District National Park, where landscape is a significant constraint on development.

Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
