Trafford Council plans residential redevelopment of Altair site in Altrincham
What happened
Trafford Council is considering a residential-led scheme for the 4.5-acre Altair site in Altrincham town centre, a brownfield location that has been unused since 2007. The Greater Manchester Combined Authority is providing funding support for the proposed redevelopment. The Council's Executive Committee will discuss the proposal in principle, which may consider housing or retail options.
Why it matters
The proposal aims to redevelop a key town centre site for maximum benefit to the local economy. A report suggests that space constraints might mean only one option, housing or retail, is viable if sufficient car parking is maintained. The site preparation for the project is estimated to cost £400,000.
Planning applications are currently under review regarding development proposals in the Altrincham/Carrington area involving Trafford Council, and Bruntwood is also involved in the Stretford Mall regeneration project.
