Redrow outlines 558 New Carrington homes
Together, the two applications submitted to Trafford Council concern some 109 acres of land to the east and west of Warburton Lane.
Planning applications submitted on Redrow’s behalf by Stantec identify the vision for a 558-home “semi-rural village community” which “embraces the area’s landscape and heritage”.
Redrow hopes the scheme will create a “place with identity” which cohesively reflects the local character and architectural distinctiveness.
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.

Warburton West
- 115154/FUL/24
Redrow Homes’ full application seeks consent to build 155 houses on the land west of Warburton Lane.
Spanning almost 33 acres, a mix of two-, three-, four-, and five-bed homes across a range of terraced, semi-detached, and detached properties would be on offer.
The proposed housing mix would consist of eight two-bed, 59 three-bed, 74 four-bed, and 14 five-bed houses.
In addition, 24 affordable homes amounting to 15% of the total on offer have been planned.
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.
Plans suggest a green active travel ‘heritage trail’ will create a circular route around the perimeter of the site.
Subject to planning permission being granted in Q2 2025, site clearance and preparation works could start in Q3 2025, with a view for construction to begin by Q3 2036.
To the east of Warburton Road, there is the potential for the development of more than 400 homes. Credit: via planning documents
Warburton East
- 115155/HYB/24
The second application submitted by the housebuilder is split across two, with one element detailing the construction of 103 homes, and the second outlining the development of a further 300 properties.
Detailed proposals suggest the scheme would provide a housing mix of six two-beds, 46 three-beds, four 41-beds, and five 10-beds. 16 of these units would be affordable.
Green active travel routes will support continuous west-to-east movements through the edges of the site.
Redrow’s outline application seeks to establish the principles for the development of up to 300 more homes on the remaining 29.75 acres reserved for residential use.
The outline application stipulates that 20.75 acres would be reserved for green infrastructure and public open space.
In line with the detailed element, 15% of the homes are proposed to be affordable.
The project team involved in both applications includes Vista3D, Hepworth, Redmore Environmental, Shield Arboricultural Consultancy, Betts Hydro, Betts Geo, and SCP Transport.
Redrow Homes has long sought to develop the 109-acre site south of Partington. Trafford Council had previously refused the developer permission to build a residential scheme due to a lack of affordable housing – the decision was appealed and upheld.
The developer then returned in September 2024 with outline plans for 560 homes across the two sites.
Is anyone tracking what % of greenfield PfE sites are now in the process of getting planning permission. It feels like there’s quite a bit of pace gathering.

Looking at those plans… what year is this? I thought we’d all learned in the 1970s that building car-centric communities in the middle of nowhere is a bad idea. Major housebuilders and Trafford Council must’ve missed that memo.
Hoping future residents enjoy being totally stranded in the middle of nowhere

A semi rural village community that embraces the areas landscape and heritage creating a place of identity with 550+ standard Redrow house types with a bit of embellishment and open space, Hardly a village, more a residential urban extension of Partington.

Looks good- we need a lot more for this high end developments across the whole of the northwest – especially around Merseyside

Enjoy your “place with identity”, a load of Noddy houses stuck on the backside of Partington (sorry, “East Lymm”). Ideal to take in your semi rural setting whilst moaning about the traffic in a morning on the single lane road to anywhere and the hoards of bored feral youths on electric bikes who’ll take over at night.

Have they considered the heavily contaminated ground water or the COMAH safety case?
