Sarah Townsend The landowner is courting developers to help it bring it forward a trio of sites that would deliver the first 400 of 3,000 homes of the £1bn project on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal. The residential schemes being planned include one part-affordable, part-open market development; one project focussed on care and senior living accommodation, and one build-to-rent scheme that Peel L&P would bring forward itself with the backing of a funding institution, the company’s executive director of development James Whittaker told Place North West. Peel L&P secured outline consent in 2018 for Trafford Waters, a mixed-use scheme on a 63-acre development site it owns opposite the Trafford Centre. The scheme is expected to take two decades to complete.
