Update on huge regeneration plans for Stalybridge brownfield site including new homes and commercial property
A strategic brownfield site in Stalybridge is set to be regenerated after plans including new homes and commercial space were submitted.
Bankfoot APAM, acting as development manager on behalf of the site’s owner, the Greater Manchester Pension Fund (GMPF), has submitted a planning application to Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council. The site has remained underused for many years.
Bankfoot APAM and GMPF have worked closely with Tameside Council through extensive pre-application engagement to develop a "transformational, mixed-use masterplan".
Proposals include new homes, flexible ground-floor commercial space, extensive public realm improvements, and enhanced pedestrian connections to the town centre, surrounding neighbourhoods, and directly to Stalybridge Railway Station, which sits immediately adjacent to the site.
The scheme will bring forward 102 affordable homes across a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments and townhouses.
Andrew Day, senior director at Bankfoot APAM, said: "All 102 homes will be delivered as affordable housing at mid-market rent levels, helping to address real affordability pressures and unlock new housing in a location where viability has historically constrained development.
"This is an important site for Stalybridge — one that can act as a catalyst for wider regeneration. The scheme is projected to generate over £92m in social and economic value, reinforcing our commitment to delivering long-term benefits for the local community while setting a benchmark for sustainable, inclusive development."
