Royal London Asset Management Property has called on the Greater Manchester community to help shape the development at Davenport Green in Trafford.
The proposed masterplan, which could see an investment in the area totalling more than £750m, comprises 2,500 homes, 646,000 sq ft of employment space and a park. The investment also includes £100m of new infrastructure featuring primary education provision, a new local centre and community play facilities.
The site sits between Hale Barns and Timperley, with the vision for the new neighbourhood designed around the delivery of an extension to the existing Metrolink line.
Royal London aims to regenerate the area over the next 13 years. Masterplan proposals are expected to be finalised by Royal London and submitted to Trafford Council in November this year.
Joe Kane, senior development manager at Royal London, said: “The proposals for Davenport Green will not only address the diverse housing needs in Trafford, including much-needed affordable housing provision, but will also contribute to the strategic development of Trafford and Greater Manchester as a whole.
“We look forward to working with the community to help shape these plans further and deliver a scheme that meets local needs and complements the surrounding landscape.”
Liz Patel, executive member for economy and regeneration at Trafford Council, said: “These plans will see new and affordable homes being built alongside the transport, business and community facilities needed in support of that. It’s really important that our residents help shape these plans.”
