Kids have played here ‘for generations’
It might not look like much, but for neighbours here it means everything. A patch of tarmac next to Grafton Street in Heaton Norris has been the centre of the community "for generations", according to residents.
On December 19, Stockport council gave Stockport Homes planning permission to build six bungalows on the 0.2 hectares of land. These much-needed one-bedroom homes will be for social rent, with adaptations for disabled people."After three years of campaigning, we’re disappointed with the outcome,” says Chris Yates, a Heaton Norris resident who has led a campaign against the plans.
The application was also met with opposition from Stockport Green Party, who raised concerns about the loss of a London Plane tree on the land if homes are built. But despite the fears, it was approved after a majority of councillors voted to give it the green light.
