The development includes the proposed delivery of around 2,500 high-quality new homes, 60,000 sqm of employment space and Greater Manchester’s newest rural park. The investment around the proposals includes £100 million of new infrastructure and facilities including enhanced primary education provision, a new local centre and community play facilities. The vision will also deliver a new Rural Park, the largest to be provided within Greater Manchester in a generation.
Land at Davenport Green is one of the strategic site allocations in the Greater Manchester ‘Places for Everyone’ plan, approved in March 2024. In line with the plan, the proposed site, which is located between Hale Barns and Timperley, has been brought forward in close collaboration with local stakeholders.
The ambition for this masterplan is to offer a new kind of urban environment, defined by its green landscape - reflecting, protecting and respecting the existing natural environment. Therefore, the neighbourhood will be set against the backdrop of Greater Manchester’s newest park providing a vibrant green neighbourhood with easy access to the natural environment.
