Properties will go where three large tower blocks and pub once stood
A plan for a development of 147 homes on a brownfield site in Old Trafford where three large tower blocks and a pub once stood looks set for approval. The scheme for land off Bold Street comes up for discussion at Trafford ’s planning committee on Thursday next week but has been recommended for approval.
There will be access for vehicles from Bold Street and Maher Gardens and separate pedestrian accesses, including from the adjacent Merlin’s Park. Homes for Trafford will stump up nearly £1m towards secondary education as part of what is known as a Section 106 agreement. A report to the committee describes the currently-overgrown site as in a ‘priority regeneration area’. It is only about half-a-mile from Manchester city centre.
