Casey forges ahead with 72-acre Tame Valley Park proposals 

The National Trust has lodged plans for a 20-month pilot scheme that will see part of the 1892 Manchester viaduct transformed into a public park. 

Bruntwood Works is aiming to create the first carbon-neutral, new-build commercial development in the country. In this latest episode of Place North West’s COP26 podcast series, we ask how it can be done and, more importantly, if it can be replicated at scale.

Construction has begun on Lytham St Annes High School, Littleborough Community Primary School and Nursery, and Whitworth Community High School – all part of the Department for Education’s Schools Rebuilding Programme.

In the latest episode of Place North West’s COP26 podcast series, TLT LLP provides insight into the tug-of-war being fought between occupiers and landlords over who should pay to bring buildings in line with sustainability targets.

Join us in person or via livestream on Thursday 9 September as we hear from Greater Manchester councils, Ian Simpson, Simon Ismail and more on the future of the city region.

Empty retail units, ageing transport hubs and the need for homes are problems facing local authorities across the country. In Stockport, the battle to address those issues is very much on. Place North West met up with Cllr David Meller for a stroll around the town to get an idea of the scale of the council's redevelopment plans.

The council has produced a report mapping out its intentions to develop infrastructure to support the expected growth of zero-emissions vehicles.

Stockport Council planning officers have agreed to accept a further planning application as the urban farm’s operator seeks to “regularise” activities and map out further plans.

Feedback on an initial masterplan for the eco-park and farm is being sought as the council aims to finalise its vision for the project early next year.
