Redrow awaits green light for 155 Trafford homes
Part of a wider plan for up to 558 homes, the housebuilder’s scheme would be constructed off Warburton Lane within the New Carrington allocation.
Trafford Council has recommended Redrow’s 155-home Warburton West project for approval. Its planning committee will meet next week to determine the plans, which feature 15% affordable provision.
The proposed housing mix would consist of eight two-bed, 59 three-bed, 74 four-bed, and 14 five-bed houses.
More than 15 acres of the site – roughly 50% of its total area – would consist of green public space designed by Golby + Luck Landscape Architects.
The 33-acre site forms part of a wider 109-acre swathe either side of Warburton Lane that could ultimately deliver 558 homes.
Redrow lodged plans for Warburton West and Warburton East in 2024 and the applications were validated last year.
The plots make up land under the strategic policy framework for New Carrington under the Greater Manchester joint development plan, Places for Everyone, which aims to deliver a mixed-use development of around 5,000 homes, 3.5m sq ft of employment floorspace, and a local centre.
Stantec is advising Redrow on planning matters. To learn more about the scheme, search for reference number 115154/FUL/24 on Trafford Council’s planning portal.
Some of those houses are really rammed in, and hardly any front gardens, such a backward step and for what an asking price of 300k upwards

155 homes across about 15 acres (lets call that just over 6 hecatares because it’s no longer then 1960s) = about 25 dwellings per hectare. Ok we should allow maybe 25% of the land for things other than houses, so let’s say almost approaching 35%, but still pitiful in the context of it being part of a strategic allocation where there is a planned opportunity to a) make the most effective use of land and b) ensure provision of infrastructure and services.

Another insult to countryside and wild life to profit from postal code nobody wants this

Trafford council is very handy at creating problems for the residents of Partington. This development will increase pressure on limited resources. Building on valuable farming land is a crime against future generations.

Can we not just build housing like they do abroad where it’s often much better planned and much higher quality.
Why is housing and infrastructure so relentlessly awful over here?

And no provision for any form of public transport, enjoy the traffic chaos

I don’t know why they bother with masterplans they’re meaningless in Trafford. Partington is building site but Trafford Council doesn’t care, decades old communities are going to disappear into urban sprawl and traffic is going to get worse.

Does this mean Trafford also want to approve the bigger development on the other side of Warburton Lane as well? Top Park Close and Moss Lane will be swamped by new housing and any chance not to live in suburbia will disappear.
