Miller secures consent for 76 Timperley homes
Having acquired the former Green Belt site with outline permission for 116 homes, the housebuilder has been granted full consent for a scaled back project that features 34 affordable properties.
Trafford Council has granted permission for the 76-home redevelopment of the former World of Pets site off Thorley Lane, which Miller Homes bought from Harlex Property last year.
The outline plans were initially refused by the authority’s planning committee but that decision was overturned at appeal.
Miller’s scheme features one-bedroom maisonettes up to five-bedroom detached homes. Almost half of the homes – 45% – will be available via affordable rent or shared ownership.
The cost of the private homes start at £624,995.
Branded as Thorley Glade, the scheme will contribute £298,190 towards education provision and biodiversity as well as a £569,885 community infrastructure levy that will support local services and infrastructure.
Clare Noakes, sales director for Miller Homes in the North West, said: “Securing planning approval for Thorley Glade is a key milestone for Miller Homes as we expand our presence in Greater Manchester.
“This development will not only provide high-quality, energy-efficient homes but also deliver significant benefits to the local community through infrastructure investment and affordable housing provision.”
Hope Architects is leading on the development’s design. NJL Consulting is advising on planning.

I thought this had already been boxed off last year.
It’s a missed opportunity to link Wood Lane to a more suitable junction with an improved Clay Lane, to make both roads more fit for the volumes they are now being used for.
This is why any release of green belt needs to be coordinated, so that all transport and amenities are covered; piecemeal releases of land like this are what causes all the problems.

Affordable, starting at £645000. Affordable to who?
By John
Hi John. The affordable homes will not start at £645,000. This is the starting price for the privately sold homes, as the story states. Best wishes, Dan

What price do affordable start at please?
By Sheila T
The market housing needs to start at £645,000 to make 45% affordable provision viable. Further evidence of just how far upmarket private development has to go in order to deliver policy complaint outcomes.

Not enough infrastructure as it is. Where are the schools, GP surgeries, hospitals to cater to these residents. As for the extra traffic through Shaftesbury Ave / Thorley Lane junction, where we are experiencing regular incidents at the traffic lights as it is, what arrangements are being made to cope?

Secondary Schools are oversubscribed already. Why has this not been considered in the planning – or are these houses not meant yo be homes for families with children?

Social housing, additional health care, shops?? Probably not. Oh and good road access to an already crowded system

One bed maisonettes. So ‘affordable’ box flats with no outside space, limited parking, leasehold, service charges, bought up by foreign investors to rent out at extortionate prices. This site needs some nice graffiti on it and some antisocial beeping of the car horns early on to put the buyers off.

Awful design. They look like a line of warehouses. Maisonettes, apartments, flats etc may tick a Council box as affordable but families cannot make homes in them. Where are the affordable HOUSES with gardens that families young and old really need.

I refuse to believe those houses were designed by an architect, unless he previously designed for the “SIMS” game. Did whoever drew up these plans actually study traffic at the site? Green Lane is impassable twice a day due to parents trying to ensure their little darlings don’t have to walk more than 15 ft to school. It’s going to be fun when the same entitled parents start parking on people’s drives and blocking access. No more GP’s, no more school places, no more infrastructure, just more people squashed into soulless boxes.

After the floods last year, how much worse will all these houses make it. There is never improvements to amenities. A doctors surgery closed due to lack of GP’s and you can barely get an appointment at the best of time. Not a great idea

There won’t be any greenery anywhere with all this building going on!! The UK is going to be a concrete jungle in the next few years!🤬

Yet more homes crammed into an over populated area with crumbling infrastructure. Nice to see the schools, doctors, dentists and roads are all being considered when making these decisions.
By Matt
how much are the affordable homes?
