Edwin Street, Stockport
Its been a bumper
past month or so for planning approvals here at TADW, and it was this scheme at
Edwin Street in Stockport for Stockport Homes, that started it off. The scheme itself is for 18 new affordable
homes, 12 of which are 2 bedroom houses and the remainder are 3 bedroom. Located on the approach to one of the
entrances to Woodbank Park, and adjacent to the Woodbank Community Centre, the
scheme is ideally situated for young families.
Stockport Homes will
be letting these properties at Affordable Rent prices, which will serve a need
for new housing in the area.
Bredbury Curve, Stockport
Another recent
approval is this scheme for 60 new homes to be delivered through mixed tenure
by The Casey Group in association with Stockport Homes.
The site is not
without its challenges and features a particularly deep railway cutting which
once linked the Glazebrook East to Skelton Junction Line and the Hope Valley
Line, but has been dismantled for the past 30-40 years. There is a long term aspiration in Stockport
that a tram/train rail link be formed between Stockport and Marple, and this
site is seen as strategically important in achieving this. TADW therefore worked closely with transport
engineers at AECOM in the early stages of the project to ensure that a suitable
exclusion zone was formed on the site to enable the future formation of this
rail link, whilst enabling this development.
Offering a mixture of
2 bedroom flats, and 2, 3 and 4 bedroom houses, through a mixed tenure of
market sale, affordable rent and shared ownership, this scheme contributes
greatly towards local housing need.
There are also 2 local areas for play included on site and the
development will help to improve sustainable transport links in the immediate
area.
10 new homes for Peaks and Plains
Amongst other recent
approvals achieved for our clients, are two schemes for Peaks and Plains
Housing Trust, both providing 5 new homes.
Above are our
proposals for Park House Lane in Prestbury, where an existing garage site will
be redeveloped to provide 5 new homes, consisting of 4 no. 2 bedroom houses,
and 1 no. 2 bedroom bungalow, along with replacement parking provision for
existing local residents.
Below is a scheme for
4 no. 2 bedroom houses and 1 no. 3 bedroom house at Lowe Drive in
Knutsford. Similarly to the above
scheme, the existing site is occupied by a number of garages that are too small
for the majority of modern vehicles.
This scheme also provide for a number of replacement parking spaces for
local residents.
