Peel, St Modwen and Langtree have been shortlisted by Shell to buy the 1,600-acre Carrington site in Trafford.

The bids for the large brownfield redevelopment opportunity exceeded Shell's initial target price of around £20m.

The former chemical plant site could hold 1,560 homes and 185 acres of employment space.

Jones Lang LaSalle advises Shell. All parties declined to comment.

A buyer is expected to be chosen by the end of the year.

When complete, the 38,200 sq ft extension to the University Collegiate School will increase the education facility’s student capacity by a third.

Irwell Valley Homes is behind the scheme drawn up by architect AEW, earmarked for a four-acre brownfield site to the east of Thirsk Avenue.
