Another 200 homes approved at huge waterside development

Plans for a third residential development at the emerging Trafford Waters district have been approved. Trafford’s planning team has rubber-stamped the bid by X1 Developments and regeneration specialists Peel Waters to create a further 208 ‘high-quality’ homes at TraffordCity.

The new development will offer a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, split across two buildings. Reaching eight and thirteen storeys high, the buildings will be adjacent to Trafford Way, with the larger of the buildings incorporating a waved design, creating a striking gateway development into Trafford Waters.

In addition to a range of public green spaces being designed by Peel Waters as part of its wider masterplan for Trafford Waters, which will include a new linear park, tree-lined boulevards and play streets, the new homes will also embrace their ‘natural and sustainable surroundings’ as well as offering their own private greenspaces and amenities to residents.
