A battle is looming over plans for luxury housing
Hundreds of people have slammed plans to build more than 300 'aspirational' homes on field's in a leafy Salford suburb. Property giant Peel L&P’s bid to launch the first phase of its development for land east of Boothstown on the doorstep of RHS Bridgwater is due to come up before the city’s planning councillors before the end of the year.
Estimates say the initial 65 homes could go for between £240,000 and £350,000, but the others could fetch upwards of £700,000 each. Five-bedroom homes in Worsley are currently being marketed at up to £1.9million. Details of the application are on Salford city council’s planning portal, but the website does not state how many objections there are to the plan. However, the Local Democracy Reporting Services understands that they number at least 520.
However, Conservative councillors on the city council - including group leader Coun Robin Garrido and a leading member of RAID - are already lined up against the plan. Meanwhile, Peel which owns the entire site and together with its housebuilding company Northstone, is promoting the site for ‘new, high quality residential development’.
