Plans for 151 new homes in Partington have been submitted to Trafford Council.

Hundreds of representations have been filed against the proposals.

The application, for full planning permission, for land off Hall Lane sitting along the Manchester ship canal in the village includes a mix of two, three and four-bedroom homes.

It was submitted by Countryside Properties and Peel Investments in February.

The initial planning statement said there would be 25 two-bedroom homes; 111 three-bedroom homes; and 20 four bedroom homes – a total of 156.

That number has now been slightly reduced.

There are set to be 78 affordable houses on site, along with 15 properties for private rent.

Trafford Council previously approved an application for full planning permission for 122 new homes on the site back in 2012 but that plan fell through.

A nearby site, which Countryside Properties is overseeing, has outline permission for a further 550 new homes. That plan was approved in September 2019.

Some residents are not happy with the plans.

One person wrote to the council to object, telling town hall officers: “I believe that the proposed development will have a serious, negative impact on our standard of living.

“The proposed number of houses will drastically increase the traffic in the area, have an impact on air quality and the safety of pedestrians.

“Residents chose to live in the location due to its quiet nature, the development will place the area at the centre of a huge residential estate which will impact the residents dramatically.”

Other issues raised by objectors include potetential congestion; parking issues; noise and pollution; and pressure on local infrastructure in an ‘already critical situation’.

One letter read: “The existing infrastructure is becoming so fragile and is being pushed close to the edge.

“A further increase in population will expediate the fall over the cliff.”

Trafford Council’s planning committee will make a decision on the application through the usual planning processes.
