The return of new terraced housing in Greater Manchester borough

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Councillors have hailed the return of terraced housing while approving a development of 147 homes in Old Trafford. The homes will be built on seven acres of land off Bold Street, which has been vacant for 12 years since three residential tower blocks and a pub were demolished after Trafford’s planning committee approved the scheme.

Homes for Trafford - a joint venture between social housing provider L&Q and the council - was the applicant and will provide nearly £1m towards secondary education places in the area.

Some 50 per cent or 73 of the homes will be affordable. Sixteen will be for social rent and 57 will be available for intermediate shared ownership or rent-to-buy.

Plans also include a residential parking permit scheme as most of the car parking would be on-street and within courtyards. Cycle storage facilities are also part of the plan.
