Plans for 30 affordable homes in South Collyhurst have been lodged by Manchester City Council and Far East Consortium, its partner for the Victoria North masterplan.
The council said that the proposals follow extensive consultation and engagement with local residents and will incorporate a mix of townhouses and low-rise apartments, with low carbon family housing central to the designs.
The proposals include 14 three-bedroom houses, 4 three-bedroom duplex apartments, 1 two-bedroom duplex apartment, and 11 two-bedroom apartments.
This tranche of housing follows the 244 homes, including 100 for social rent, currently being considered for approval by the local planning authority as part of the joint venture’s neighbouring Collyhurst Village development – plans for which include a new 3.2-acre park.
