Plans For £250m South Heywood Residential Scheme Approved
Up to 1,000 new homes are to be built in Greater Manchester.
Plans have been approved for a £250 million residential development to be built across a 129-hectare site at South Heywood by Russell Homes.
Features include developing 1,000 new homes, along with 1.45 million sq ft of employment space, a primary school, a local community centre and significant landscape infrastructure. In addition, a new 2km link road will be developed form the M62 to serve new and existing employment areas.
The scheme has been designed by IBI Group, who have been appointed to provide a range of services for the project including masterplanning, urban design, architecture, landscape architecture, graphics, GIS and 3D visualisation.
Russell Homes Planning Manager, Gary Lynch, said: "IBI Group has provided a complete design package, using their multi-disciplinary offer to present the very special circumstance necessary to justify development in the Green Belt. Their approach has been essential on so many levels, helping us to provide a clear narrative to support our vision, and secure buy-in from the wider team, businesses and importantly the Council.
"The scheme has been founded on robust placemaking principles and is a truly sustainable community. IBI Group has been instrumental in the success of this application and we now look forward to working with them to bring forward the new industrial areas of this proposal at the earliest opportunity, subject to the Secretary of State not calling-in the hybrid application."
IBI Group Studio Associate, Dinesh Maheshwari, said: "This project is a good example of IBI Group's ability to provide a developer with a range of services in one integrated team that meet the requirements of a complex project. We now look forward to working with Russell Homes on the delivery of the scheme and become a longstanding partner in delivering the vision at South Heywood."
