Permission granted for 363 unit Cornbrook scheme in Trafford
On Thursday 10 August 2017, Bellward Properties was granted planning approval from Trafford Council for the 363-unit PRS development Cornbrook Works, located at the end of Chester Road on the Manchester and Trafford border.
The private rented sector scheme, designed by Tim Groom Architects, will sit on a 2.5-acre site opposite the Cornbrook Metrolink Interchange.
The development is a mix of two and three bedroom townhouses; one, two and three bedroom apartments and family-duplexes, arranged around a tree-lined public avenue following the route of the original Corn Brook, now an underground culvert, with private green courtyards and roof top gardens.
There will be two high-rise blocks of 19 and 16 storeys fronting onto Chester Road.
Mike McManus, Bellward Properties said: “Our vision for the site has been two years in the making. I would like to thank our professional team for all of their hard work and effort on the scheme. We believe the development will serve to enhance the whole area.”
EKPS provided planning advice.
