Derwent Group to add industrial at Glasshouse

A decision to refuse permission to Redrow for a 400-home scheme on Warburton Lane in Partington has been upheld on appeal and Trafford Council said it would continue to do what it can to stop people from being priced out of the borough. 

The city council is expected to bring three sites under its ownership to deliver the first 100 homes of a wider 417-home social housing project. 

The number of property schemes to complete in 2020 hit another record high, totalling 35 last year compared to 27 in 2019 and driven by the delivery of new homes, but the pace of growth is levelling out, according to Deloitte.

The contractor has commenced work on a 2.2km link road designed to unlock sites for 1,000 homes and 1.4m sq ft of employment space in South Heywood. 

A revamped public square, 200 homes, and flexible community space in the Bolton town are among the developer's proposals now out for public consultation.

Developer McKinney Group aims to submit full plans for the £60m surf centre off Barton Dock Road next month, following a public consultation that launched last week.

The Liverpool-based developer and construction firm has been selected by Wigan Council to deliver the 40-apartment scheme off Queen Street in Leigh town centre. 

The scheme, comprising 33 townhouses on Adelphi Street, was built by John Turner Construction Group and forms part of the development consortium’s £1bn Salford Central masterplan.  

English Cities Fund’s 113,000 sq ft office, the fifth to come forward under its central Salford masterplan, is in line to be approved by the city council next week, alongside RJR Securities’ 16-storey hotel on Chapel Street.
