New Permission: The Park, Northern Moor

We are delighted to have received full planning permission on behalf of Watson Homes and Wythenshawe Community Housing Group for 35 affordable apartments on the site of The Park public house in Northern Moor, Manchester.

Watson acquired the site from JW Lees and lodged proposals to knock down the building and deliver a part-two-, part-four-storey apartment block.

The development is located on the northern edge of Wythenshawe Park and around three miles north-west of Wythenshawe Civic Centre.

Rob Watson, director at Watson Homes, said:

“Planning approval marks an important turning point for this site, which has been vacant for a number of years. It reinforces the role that brownfield regeneration can play in delivering much-needed affordable housing across Greater Manchester.

“From the outset, our approach has focused on careful design, sustainability and long-term value, ensuring the scheme complements its surroundings and supports the wider regeneration of the area. We’re looking forward to progressing the project and seeing this underused site brought back into productive use.”
