PLANS to give Sale West in Trafford a massive makeover – costing at least £50 million – are set to be decided on next week.

Irwell Valley Homes manages more than 1000 homes on the estate. A total of 79 brand new affordable homes are also part of the scheme. Planning permission for these, set to cost £11 million, was granted by the council in June 2020. The homes marked the first phase of the housing association’s planned redevelopment of the estate and were due to be completed this year.
