Ten major developments could see over 2,000 homes built - all in just two square miles

There are currently 10 major developments planned in just under two square miles around Chorlton and Trafford that, if all plans go ahead, could see more than 2,000 new homes brought to the area. While a supermarket, retail opportunities and one primary school are also part of the huge development plans, there are concerns among residents over how infrastructure in the area will cope.

To date, proposals for up to 418 homes have been made for Chorlton. But not all the schemes have revealed how much housing could be included. Meanwhile, over the Trafford border into neighbouring Stretford, if proposed plans go ahead, 1,883 new houses and flats could be built.

Many of these plans are still in the early stages, with some only just having named their developer. Others are at the stage of public consultation and as such could change.

Three of the proposed developments in Chorlton were originally being consulted on as a trio, despite each development having a different owner and developer. However as the three - Ryebank Fields, Chorlton Precinct and the former leisure centre - have moved at a different pace, their connection has waned.

Ryebank Fields

Manchester Metropolitan University has owned Ryebank Fields since the 1970s, having been gifted the land for sports and recreation. However, they put the land up for sale in 1996 and this month finally announced their preferred developers for the land.

Southway Housing and Step Places have been appointed by the University to build up to 120 new, sustainable homes on the fields. A minimum of 20 percent of the homes will be affordable.
