Bury set to approve 84 Green Belt houses
Hive Homes’ plans to build a mix of three- and four-bedroom homes on the brownfield land off Parkinson Street are set for the green light at the council’s planning committee meeting next Tuesday.
Designed by MCK Associates, the scheme would see the demolition of the former Seedfield Centre on site to make way for 84 houses.
There would be 62 three- and 22 four-bedroom homes, featuring 21 affordable units.
Proposals also include the creation of a 42-space car park following criticism surrounding parking provision for the nearby sports fields.
Officers have recommended that the application is approved despite its Green Belt location, highlighting that the six-acre plot is not countryside, but already developed land. The site’s current vacant site has also attracted vandalism and anti-social behaviour.
Hive Land & Planning is the scheme’s planning consultant. Also on the project team is arboricultural consultant Bowland Tree Consultancy and transport consultant Eddisons.
To find out more about the plans, search for application number 69079 on Bury Council’s planning portal.
Just wondering if the government have plans for new reservoirs, sewarage works schools, road networks updated, doctors, dentists. A new estate of 200 houses in higher Walmersley are already impacting on area. Just haven’t got the infrastructure for a new estate.

Existing community ignored, car park only put in when Sports England objected as no consideration given to the popular football pitches adjacent.
Community not against the development but grid lock will follow due to a flawed traffic survey.
