Plans submitted for 208-home Manchester resi scheme

Plans have been submitted this week by X1 Developments and Peel L&P for 208 open market homes at the Trafford Waters site in TraffordCity, Manchester. The homes are a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments across two buildings, which will include a first-floor residents’ roof garden. This is the first wave of open market homes being brought forward as part of Peel L&P’s wider Trafford Waters development, which will eventually create 3,000 new homes, more than 100,000 sq ft of amenity space and 850,000 sq ft of offices in the area. Plans were recently approved for Montpelier Estates’ homes for elderly living with on-site specialist facilities and amenities for people in need of dementia care. L&Q’s (formerly Trafford Housing Trust) affordable homes scheme of 83 one and two-bedroom homes is also now on site. Peel L&P executive director of development James Whittaker said XI Developments’ plans would complement these approved schemes “whilst creating another offering for our community, making Trafford Waters even more inclusive”. He added: “We have a strong and trusted partnership with X1 Developments and we hope that Trafford Council will see how much benefit these plans will bring to the area by not only creating much needed housing but also supporting local job creation, apprenticeships and delivering a vibrant, sustainable, mixed tenure community in TraffordCity.” See more planning news for Greater Manchester>> To send feedback, e-mail julia.cahill@eg.co.uk or tweet @EGJuliaC or @EGPropertyNews Image © X1 Developments
