The Altrincham-based developer hopes to build 22 homes, which will be marketed at prices between £400,000 to £600,000, on the 6.6-acre site of a former garden centre on London Road in Allostock. 

Rachael Ainscough, managing director of Ainscough Strategic Land, said the “long game” which governs the housebuilding industry is ensuring activity continues, however she called on Government to extend Help to Buy to boost sales in the aftermath.
