L&Q awaits green light for Altrincham rebuild
Plans to build 88 homes on the site of Albert, Chapel, and Lloyd Courts look set for consent when Trafford Council’s planning committee meet next week.
L&Q lodged plans for the scheme on Altrincham’s New Street last year, scaling back earlier proposals for 104 homes by 16 units following a consultation with the local council and community.
To pave the way for the project, the 60 homes that currently occupy the two-acre site will be demolished.
Residents who used to live in these homes have been rehoused in Gallant House on Regent Road, which completed in 2023.
The proposed housing mix features 64 one- and two-bedroom apartments within two, four-, and five-storey blocks. The remaining 24 homes will be two to three-storey, three-bedroom family homes.
All homes will be accessible and adaptable, with 40% to be classed as affordable. Every house will have a front and rear garden, and every apartment will have a private balcony.
Avison Young is advising L&Q on planning matters.

Remembering Eamonn Boylan: Greater Manchester’s placemaker
Eamonn Boylan never sought the spotlight. Throughout his 45-year-career as a public servant, he seemed content to just get on with the actual doing of things. Rather than lead, he preferred to guide. His impact was no less transformative.
i hope this kind of work can be repeated around Manchester to replace the eyesaw 70s council houses and flats

A good point. This is an excellent ‘gentle density’ scheme which Manchester can learn from. Altrincham is showing the way – again.
