A ‘unique’ residential respite centre for people who have attempted or considered suicide is to be created in Prestwich. Maytree Respite Centre applied for planning permission to use a large five-bedroom detached house on Highfield Road, in a residential area close to Prestwich town centre and Metrolink station.

Bury Council’s planning committee heard from a senior police officer backing the plans who said that the proposed centre would be a ‘unique offer’ in Greater Manchester to help those recovering from mental health trauma.

In correspondence read to the committee, Detective Chief Inspector Jane Curran, the strategic lead for mental health at Greater Manchester Police said she was supportive and said it was particularly needed due to public health concerns about suicidal ideation which has been noted since coming out of the Covid-19 pandemic.

A planning officer report, describing the use of the centre, said: “The property would accommodate a maximum of four guests at any one time, all of whom would be adults and who would be subject to a thorough assessment.
