Site of former police station could get new lease of life more than a decade after it was knocked down

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

New homes could be set to be built on the site of a former police station - more than a decade after it was demolished. Before being knocked down in 2012, the site in Mottram had fallen into ruin.

Now Onward Homes wants to build 14 houses where it once stood. The developer says all the new homes will be high-quality, affordable, and have three bedrooms.

If planning permission is approved by the council, the homes will be available for either affordable rent, rent-to-buy or shared ownership, to help meet identified housing needs in the local area.

The site, off Market Place, will benefit from a mix of off-street and communal parking. Each home would have its own private garden as well as access to open public space, according to the developers.
