A planning application for a new 2.7 mile Carrington Relief Road, with active travel lanes, has been submitted to Trafford Council. The route will run from the north of Partington to the existing Carrington Spur near Ashton on Mersey.
The road, designed by Amey under the One Trafford Partnership, in conjunction with Balfour Beatty, is essential to the Places for Everyone ‘New Carrington’ Master Plan, which includes proposals for 5,000 new homes and 350,000sqm of new employment space by 2040.
It will feature six new junctions with traffic lights and three ponds for wildlife habitats and drainage, using a former Carrington petro-chemical site’s road as a basis for almost half its length.
The planning application will be subject to public consultation for a minimum of six weeks before going before the Council’s Planning and Development Committee for a decision. Full details can be found on the planning pages of the Council’s website, by searching under reference 118033/FUL/25.
