Trafford Council has given the green light to a 367-unit residential development scheme on the edge of the borough’s new Civic Quarter ‘masterplan’.
CJM Investment secured consent for the development on Skerton Road, comprising 367 units across five blocks, ranging between five to 10 storeys.
The scheme will include 166 one-bedroom apartments, 118 two bedroom and 42 three-bedroom apartments as well as 41 townhouses ranging from one to three bedrooms.
The ‘masterplan’ includes onsite parking, landscaped outdoor space, and a clubhouse in the centre of the development.
The Manchester development team of property firm CBRE said it is working with the developer to find a delivery partner for the scheme.
John Dunlop, senior director in CBRE’s UK development and residential team, said: “Having been instructed to work with CJM on this key site in June, it is an excellent result for the team to have secured planning consent to bring it to life.
“The scheme is an ideal size, location and configuration for the current residential market and as such is set to attract strong interest from potential delivery partners.
“We are looking forward to engaging with interested parties and to seeing the scheme progress in due course.”
The three-acre site brings together Trafford Bar and the 135-acre Civic Quarter masterplan, which sets out Trafford Council’s 15-year plan to regenerate the area.
Tim Groom from Tim Groom Architects added: “The design of the Trafford Bar project is so that it provides a great mix of homes centred on a sense of community and neighbourhood and seeks to diversify the existing housing offering in the area.
“What sets the development apart from others is that the location is fantastic, offering a suburban lifestyle that benefits being just minutes away from city life and with its large open green space which includes the on-site “Lawn Club” it provides a real focal point for residents to create their own community.”
