First phase of Stalybridge West resi comes forward
Development manager Bankfoot APAM has lodged plans for 102 homes on land between the Tameside town’s train and bus stations on behalf of the Greater Manchester Pension Fund, which owns the land.
The scheme is the first phase of the wider Stalybridge West masterplan being promoted by the council.
It would be constructed on a four-acre site off Harrop Street, Chapel Street and Market Street that is mainly used as a caravan storage yard.
The development would comprise a mix of one-, two-, and three-bed apartments and townhouses.
All of the homes – 44 townhouses and 58 apartments – would be affordable and are being targeted at young families, key workers, and young professionals.

“All 102 homes will be delivered as affordable housing at mid-market rent levels, helping to address real affordability pressures and unlock new housing in a location where viability has historically constrained development,” said Andrew Day, Senior Director at Bankfoot APAM.
“This is an important site for Stalybridge – one that can act as a catalyst for wider regeneration. The scheme is projected to generate over £92m in social and economic value, reinforcing our commitment to delivering long-term benefits for the local community while setting a benchmark for sustainable, inclusive development.”
AshtonHale is advising on planning and TODD Architects is leading on design. LDA Design, Anderton Gables, CWC, Civic, and Pegasus make up the project team.

Bankfoot APAM is also acting as development manager for the GMPF on the £200m redevelopment of the Soapworks at Salford Quays and recently lodged plans to demolish 375,000 sq ft of outmoded industrial space in Warrington and build four modern replacement units totaling 295,000 sq ft for landowner CapitaLand.
Looks like a good scheme in a great location thats currently very poorly utilised.

Welcome to gridlock Stalybridge, the town and info structure is nowhere near big enough to warrant all the additional housing
And this council can’t look after what they’ve already got.

Maybe this is the first glimmer and what we’ll begin to see more of along the TRU route. The electrification to Stalybridge is done, and It’ll get bundled into the Bee Network, so you’d think it’s going to be a growing location for housing.

If young people won’t pay price for apartments then they should go overseas to work.Britain is not a place anymore for cheap property

The allocation of housing for this housing development seems to be discriminatory. We”re told that the apartments will be affordable but they will be targeted at young families, key workers and young professionals. This is how they allocated housing when they opened the Sumners Quay project in Stalybridge. Those who are in need of housing, pensioners and people on state benefits, are obviously lesser citizens and not part of the criteria for allocation of housing on this project. This is economic apartheid and I find it quite disgraceful.
