Councillor accuses developer of 'jumping the gun'
A controversial plan to build 450 homes on green belt land in Worsley has been submitted to Salford city council. Residents turned out in force a year ago to register their opposition to the plan for the 42-acre plot on land known as Hazelhurst Farm between the busy A580 East Lancs Road and the slip road to the M61.
"There's still a lot of fight left in the local people and we saw that in the elections where, against the national trend, they returned Conservative councillors who are supporting them." However, Nick Graham, associate director for planning at Peel L&P responded by saying the site proposed for development was to help address the 'chronic shortage of family and affordable homes in Salford and Greater Manchester'.
“We understand that some local people will be concerned about extra traffic and pressure on local services. We have consulted with the local community, listened and responded, and would encourage anyone concerned to read and understand the proposals and supporting evidence, then make their comments to the council.”
A press release issued by Peel said of the two applications: “We have committed to creating mixed communities which provide 20 per cent affordable housing on each site as well as providing an additional contribution equivalent to 30pc of each site towards further affordable housing across Salford - resulting in 50pc affordable housing overall.”
Annabel Baker, Peel L&P’s associate director of development planning, said: “We are delighted to be submitting planning applications for these two sites. The east of Boothstown site is a special location, able to provide some of the largest and highest-quality housing in Salford and Greater Manchester.
