Burnage BTR back for second bite of cherry
Revised plans for a residential scheme on a site off Mauldeth Road currently occupied by a B&M Bargains store have been submitted following the withdrawal of a similar scheme earlier this year.
St Helier-based Triple Jersey has lodged plans for a 115-home build-to-rent development in Burnage. The revised plans propose three more homes than the first iteration of the scheme, which was withdrawn before being determined by Manchester City Council.
Triple Jersey is proposing 41 two-bedroom apartments and 74 houses, providing a mix of two-, three-, and four-bedroom properties.
The refreshed plans, unlike the earlier version, propose eight affordable homes. The original scheme was devoid of any affordable homes due to viability constraints.
The first iteration of the development was due to be considered by the authority’s planning committee in February and was recommended for refusal by officers due to the perceived “poor quality” of its design and a lack of affordable homes.
Cllr Bev Craig, Leader of Manchester City Council and ward councillor for Burnage, was among those to voice objections over the project.

DPP is advising on planning and Sten Architecture is leading on design.
