Proposals for the regeneration of Prestwich Village have been submitted to Bury Council.
The scheme, to be delivered by a joint venture between Muse Developments and the council, has a gross development value of £100m.
The move follows two stages of consultation, with the final plans including 200 homes, a travel hub and a community hub featuring a library and events space. The building is also expected to offer an opportunity to deliver a new health centre.
In addition, the developer has proposed to deliver a village square, market hall, flexible retail and leisure spaces and outdoor and green spaces.
Stuart Rogers, director of project management at Muse, said: “One of the things people love about Prestwich is the many independent businesses already here and this really came through during the consultation. So we decided to increase the amount of retail space by removing one of the residential buildings and added a larger market hall to provide smaller spaces for local retailers to thrive and grow.
“The idea of the village square was also really popular so we’ve increased that in size and included more green spaces and planting throughout the site.”
The Prestwich Regeneration jv was formed in October 2022. A planning decision will be made in spring and, if approved, construction will begin later this year.
