Search the Public Notice PortalHundreds of homes could be built on fields at the edge of a village near Bury, new plans reveal.
Developers are eyeing up green space on the outskirts of Walmersley for the project. Some 350 homes are proposed there, 40 per cent of which would be classed as ‘affordable’.
The development would also include employment and commercial buildings. A local retail centre would be built, as would a mobility hub, plans show.
A public open space would be delivered through the scheme too, with plans stating this is ‘subject to’ a change of use application being approved for part of the site.
Documents show the development would be located over an expanse of fields off Walmersley Road, to the north of the village. It would stretch from the recreation ground at the edge of Walmersley to the M66 exit road.
Multiple points of access would be created off Walmersley Road itself, with another two proposed off Walmersley Old Road.
The plan is in its early stages, with developers Hollins Strategic Land, Moldune Ltd and Belbeck Investments Ltd having only submitted an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) screening request to Bury Council to date.
This asks the local authority whether an EIA is needed as part of the formal planning process and, if it is, what the scope of that assessment should be.
More details on the scheme are expected to be submitted in due course. Documents suggest plans will be considered in two parts, with an outline application seeking approval for the scheme in principle coming first.
