Plans for 730 new houses in Newton Heath are set to be approved today by Manchester Council’s planning committee
The homes on the former site of the Jackson’s Brickworks will range from one bed accommodation through to larger four bed homes.
The variety of homes will offer suitable housing for local people with different needs, including families and those looking to get on the property ladder or downsize into an apartment.
The proposals include a community hub building which will be open for use by the local community for events such as community gatherings and children’s activities.
A number of open green spaces and play areas are also proposed creating a true sense of place and belonging.
The scheme,if passed, will redevelop an area which has been vacant for a number of years and which has been victim to anti-social behaviour and provide a new lease of life says the developer Your Housing Group
The former Jackson’s Brickworks site is currently contaminated, due to its former industrial past. The site has also been left vacant for several decades – resulting in flytipping and the growth of Japanese Knotweed. The site therefore needs to be wholly remediated,says the developer Your Housing Group
If passed work could commence in 2024
