Residents are being asked to give their views online over plans for a new housing development at Trafford Waters. The scheme on Redclyffe Road at Peel L&P’s development is being put forward by Trafford Housing Trust (THT), part of L&Q, for 83 apartments on the Trafford side of the Manchester Ship Canal next to The Trafford Centre and Trafford Leisure Village.
The intention is to deliver one and two-bedroom homes for shared ownership, subject to approval from Homes England for grant funding. Proposals are part of Peel L&P’s wider Trafford Waters development, a scheme that will create 3,000 new homes, over 100,000 sq ft of amenity space and 850,000 sq ft of offices in the area.
The development is estimated to create more than 5,000 jobs and will include a new primary school plus 20 acres of open spaces for residents, employees and visitors. The public consultation will take place virtually online, and residents are being encouraged to email any questions they have to THT before the plans are finalised and submitted for planning permission later this year. The consultation will run until November 6.
