Redrow on the cusp of 155-home Trafford approval
The council’s planning committee voted in favour of the housebuilder’s Warburton Lane proposals, subject to the Environment Agency withdrawing an objection.
Redrow’s 155-home project in the Partington area of Trafford went to committee last week with a recommendation to approve from officers.
However, at the time councillors took their seats, the Environment Agency was yet to make a final decision on whether to uphold its objection on flood risk grounds.
The committee voted eight-to-four in favour of approval, subject to the EA being satisfied with the proposals having reassessed them.
The proposed housing mix would consist of eight two-bed, 59 three-bed, 74 four-bed, and 14 five-bed houses, with 15% of these being affordable.
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.
