Hundreds up in arms over plans to build more than 300 homes on fields near RHS Bridgewater
manchestereveningnews.co.ukHundreds of people have slammed plans to build more than 300 'aspirational' homes on field's in a leafy Salford suburb. Property giant Peel L&P’s bid to launch the first phase of its development for land east of Boothstown on the doorstep of RHS Bridgwater is due to come up before the city’s planning councillors before the end of the year.
The application seeks full planning permission to initially build 65 homes on the northern part of the site with vehicle access from Occupation Road, together with public open space, a children’s play area and enhancements to existing foopaths and cycleways.
It has been submitted with an application for outline permission for a further 285 homes. Estimates say the initial 65 homes could go for between £240,000 and £350,000, but the others could fetch upwards of £700,000 each.
Five-bedroom homes in Worsley are currently being marketed at up to £1.9million. Details of the application are on Salford city council’s planning portal, but the website does not state how many objections there are to the plan.
