MADE Partnership and Tameside Council have reached an agreement to deliver as many as 2,150 homes at Godley Green Garden Village in Greater Manchester.

Godley Green Garden Village is Tameside Council’s flagship project, which got outline planning permission last November.

The deal is the first for MADE Partnership – a joint venture between Barratt Redrow, Homes England, and Lloyds Banking Group – since it launched in September.

MADE Partnership and Tameside Council will now work with the site’s existing developers and landowners to agree a comprehensive master development strategy for the site. Both organisations will seek to conclude negotiations on the final terms of their master development partnership in 2025, with the aim of starting on site in early 2026.

Once established, the partnership will be responsible for overseeing and managing the development of the garden village, taking responsibility for the overall vision and strategy, and co-ordinating the wide range of stakeholders involved. It will fund and install the primary and community infrastructure, create serviced parcels of land for housebuilders, deliver an ambitious social value strategy and ensure robust long-term stewardship is put in place.

Eleanor Wills, executive leader of Tameside Council, said: “Our initial discussions about putting an exclusivity agreement in place with MADE Partnership are incredibly exciting. MADE Partnership is a unique organisation with the vision and expertise that could significantly contribute to our end goal, which is the successful delivery of a sustainable, well-designed place that will benefit the new and existing communities.”

Stephen Kinsella, board member for MADE Partnership, added: “Godley Green Garden Village is a development of regional significance and MADE Partnership is really excited to be working with Tameside Council to deliver its ambitious vision for the site.

“This is the first MADE Partnership deal to be announced and as master developers for the project we look forward to partnering with the council on a long-term basis to build a desirable new community at Godley Green where people can be proud to live, work and relax.”
