Developer PJ Livesey, working with landowner Greater Manchester Pension Fund, will now progress a start on site in early 2026 with demolition of Graeme House and the wider precinct.<\/p>\n
The scheme has been reworked after heavy consultation during 2023 and a major backlash from residents, with more than 1,300 objections centred on building heights.<\/p>\n
The final plans settle on a cluster of 10, eight, six and four storey blocks framing a new walkable public square.<\/p>\n The approved Chorlton Square project will deliver one, two and three bed flats, each with outdoor space and access to landscaped routes.<\/p>\n Twenty per cent of the homes are classed as affordable. Southway Housing Trust is lined up to take 49 social rent units across 16 one beds and 33 two beds subject to Homes England funding support.<\/p>\n PJ Livesey managing director Georgina Lynch said the approval marks a turning point for the district and a chance to create a new community heart.<\/p>\n The North West developer recently secured Homes England preferred partner status and continues to target brownfield regeneration sites backed by bespoke design.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"-\"](\"https:\/\/www.constructionenquirer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/514a4006990ea737441a2548ead430af.webp\")
