Housebuilders win consent for 243 homes in Salford

TAYLOR Wimpey and Redrow Homes have won planning consent to build 243 homes on a brownfield site in Cadishead, Salford.

The planning application was handled by Manchester-based NJL Consulting on behalf of the two housebuilders.

NJL said it rearranged the plans after it was appointed in February to incorporate more family housing to meet demand in the area.

Paul Smith, land and property director at Taylor Wimpey, said: “We are pleased to have finally secured planning permission after a difficult application process. The range of house types we will now be developing is intended to appeal to a wide range of purchasers and will provide an economic stimulus to Salford.”

NJL partner Nick Lee said: “This is a key example of the rapidly changing housing market in the wider Salford area.”
