A new residential development across a 2.3-acre site has been proposed, on behalf of Trafford Council. Fronting the Bridgewater Canal, the 53 new homes will be located on the prominent Lacy Street car park and former Royal Mail sorting office. Connecting the Stretford Mall masterplan and the canal, a pedestrian and cycle way has been created linking green space on the corner of A56 and a new public realm canal side.
Consisting of two, three and four-bedroom houses and two-bedroom apartments, with the tallest structures reaching a maximum height of three-storeys, the development adopt a fabric first approach and will include 14 affordable homes designed to be thermally efficient giving residents access to EV charging facilities.
The Lacy Street site is an extremely important factor in the overall transformation of Stretford town centre. We are applying for permission to build 53 new homes – 14 affordable. The designs reflect feedback that we have had from residents about the need to develop houses, as well as flats, and to open up access to the canal.
