“We’re investing millions to provide residents with a fantastic place to live and giving them the opportunity to become part of an established community. 

“We’ve worked closely with our partners to ensure we meet housing need, and we’ve given careful consideration to the local area. 

“One of our strategic priorities is to invest in the quality, safety and environmental sustainability of our homes. We envisage a unique and modern scheme that will blend seamlessly into its surroundings. 

“We want Manchester Road to be flexible, accessible and sustainable for the residents, and the community too.” 

The 11.78 acres site, on land adjoining Church Farm Barn, is surrounded by houses and fields.  

The homes are due to be complete in December 2023.
