Trafford Housing Trust’s proposals for 330 homes and a Lidl supermarket at the site south of Preston have been submitted by AFL Architects in a detailed masterplan with phased delivery proposals.
THT, which is also advised by Savills, acquired the site last year and talked of its plans in May. Bovis had previously secured a consent for 385 homes at the former industrial site, which was vacated in 2006.
Housing at the project will range from one-bedroom to four-bedroom mixed tenure homes, along with retail and 8.5 aces of public open space.
The phases are:
Phase 1 – 117 homes and a new retail store at the larger eastern section of the site, and 29 new homes at the western Sumpter Horse pub site, connected by landscape corridors
