Plams have been submitted to Manchester Council to 66 new homes on land formerly belonging to Burnage Cricket Club
The site located at the corner of Kingsway and Mauldeth Road has not been used for fourteen years as a cricket ground and the plans were put out for public consulation last summer.
The dwellings are designed by Manchester based Ollier Smurthwaite Architects, and take inspiration from the original Burnage Garden Village, each new house will have its own private back garden and front driveway with parking for one car. EV charging infrastructure will be provided as well as secure cycle parking.
The proposals could see 58 new family houses built, with the proposed mix being: 11 with three bedrooms and 47 with four bedrooms.
The existing building on the site is set to be redeveloped into two apartments.
Since the cricket club closed, which it is understood was in 2011, there have been several attempts to develop the site which have ended in failure as there was no provision made for a replacement cricket playing field.The new plans will see provision for a new ground
