MSV tables plans for Cheetham Hill affordable homes
All 70 of the proposed houses and apartments on vacant land around Tamerton Drive will be available for affordable rent.
Housing association MSV wants to build on previously developed land in Cheetham Hill under plans lodged with Manchester City Council.
The scheme is located within an established residential area in Cheetham Hill. Historical maps show the sites were previously occupied but were cleared several decades ago.
MSV’s scheme features a mix of homes. 17 would have four bedrooms, 16 would have three, 19 would have two, and 18 would be one-bedroom properties.
The land has been identified for residential development by the city council as a key site for a residential development in the Cheetham Hill area that will contribute towards housing demands on “underutilised open green area”, according to a planning statement submitted with the application.
Bowker Sadler Architecture is advising MSV on the proposals.

Nearby, plans for a 420-pupil primary school off Bignor Street were approved last year.
The architect dealt with the corner so elegantly.

Why does ‘affordable’ housing have to look so dull? Mindless repetition of brick boxes with pointy roofs.
