Southway tables Trafford affordable plan 

Working with architect Calderpeel, the housing association has lodged an application to build 67 houses and apartments on land off Christie Road in Stretford. 

Southway Housing Trust’s scheme comprises 62 apartments and five three-bedroom townhouses. There would be 17 one-bedroom apartments and 45 with two bedrooms. 

The homes would be available for shared ownership and social rent, according to a planning statement prepared by Pegasus. 

LUC is the landscape architect for the development. 

The scheme, ranging from three to five storeys, would be built on a site bordered by the Bridgewater Canal and next to Miller Homes’ 282-home Novus development, also designed by Calderpeel. 

Southway, in partnership with Step Places, was recently selected by Manchester Metropolitan University as the preferred developer for the controversial Ryebank Fields development.
