Plans Submitted To Redevelop Former Chorlton Leisure Centre

Construction News Image
Plans have been submitted to redevelop the former Chorlton Leisure Centre in Manchester as an affordable Later Living scheme for local people.

The new development will provide 50 apartments for the over 55s.  Seven of the apartments will be for sale by shared ownership, three will be neighbourhood apartments providing step up accommodation, with the remaining 40 capped at the Manchester Living Rent.

Lettings will be prioritised to over 55s with a housing priority need, including those wishing to right-size and free up a social rented family home in the local area for families on the housing waiting list.  Affordable homes to rent in neighbourhoods like Chorlton are much needed and these homes are expected to be in high demand.

The apartments and development overall will have the flexibility to adapt over time to meet the changing needs of the occupants, meaning residents can move from their existing family home and right-size to a new more suitable home which provides everything they need for years to come. 

In addition to well thought out communal spaces and hubs within the development, there will also be opportunities to bring in other external features, for example health services, wellbeing spaces and opportunities for community interaction and involvement.   

The development is expected to be completed Summer 2025 and will see an investment of over £12m.
