Peel L&P’s Trafford Waters plans building momentum
Developer, Peel L&P, is inviting feedback from Trafford Waters residents on plans for 208 new homes.
The Manchester group, which has also received planning approval for another scheme at the location, is working with X1 Developments on its latest plans and they have launched a public consultation for the new homes which will include a mix of properties from one-bedroom apartments to two-bed town houses for open market sale across two buildings.
A large resident roof terrace garden would also feature within the scheme and residents would have access to a range of public green spaces, including a new waterside park, as part of the wider Trafford Waters development.
The proposals are the third residential scheme to be brought forward at Trafford Waters within TraffordCity, close to the Trafford Centre and the Manchester Ship Canal.
Set to be completed over the next 20 years, Trafford Waters will create 3,000 homes, more than 5,000 jobs, a new primary school, 20 acres of open space and leisure and office space.
James Whittaker, Peel L&P’s executive director for development, said: “We’re pleased to see plans for more homes get under way to offer a wider choice of housing at our Trafford Waters development to meet local demand.
“X1’s proposals will offer homes for private sale which, together with the plans for affordable housing and a care home that are already in progress, will begin to create a new community that suits a range of needs and ages.”
Meanwhile, planning permission has been granted for a new affordable housing development at the Trafford Waters development – the first homes to be built at the site.
The scheme from Trafford Housing Trust, part of L&P, will see 83 one- and two-bedroom homes built at the Trafford side of the Manchester Ship Canal within TraffordCity, next to The Trafford Centre and Trafford Leisure Village.
Ben Townsend, new business director at Trafford Housing Trust, said: “We are understandably very pleased to have received planning permission, and we are looking forward to working closely with colleagues at Peel L&P to bring this development forward.
“Trafford Housing Trust is committed to bringing forward housing in Trafford and the North West, and gaining planning permission for this development is another step forward in achieving those ambitions.”
James Whittaker said: “We’re pleased that we’ll soon be able to welcome Trafford Housing Trust on site to start building Trafford Waters’ first residential scheme and we’re proud that these will be affordable homes to meet local housing needs.”
The development will start on site early this summer.
