Plans to build more than 30 new homes on the site of a former industrial warehouse in Radcliffe could get the green light.

Property company Paul Cook Developments along with Jigsaw Homes submitted an application to the council earlier this month to build social housing on the former Station Works site on Bury Road.

The application would see a mixture of two and three-bedroom semi-detached houses and one bedroom apartments in two-storey blocks constructed on the brownfield site.

The new build is situated near amenities such as the Radcliffe Medical Practice, Radcliffe Metrolink station and several schools and developers say the work will complement wider regeneration efforts in the area.

The application said: “This regeneration scheme of Radcliffe town centre is set to take place over 15 years.

“This housing scheme aims to play a positive part in the regeneration of Radcliffe. Providing social housing to an area that is committed to long term regeneration.”

The former Station Works was in use until August 2012 when it was destroyed in a fire, the site is currently vacant but had previously been used for vehicle storage.

Developers point out that the proposed build will not sit within a green belt or conservation area.

They also say the development could bring significant economic developments to the area, according to the House Builders Federation.

This would include the employment of more than 30 people, generate more than £20,000 in education spending and more than £350,000 in council tax revenue.

While parking spaces will be constructed, developers hope the sites proximity to public transport links to will help to discourage the use of private cars.

The application will be discussed by the council’s planning committee before deciding its outcome.

Consultations with residents are set to begin next month and no date has been set for a decision on it’s approval.
