Save Royton's Greenbelt has been successful in saving Hanging Chadder and Thornham Old Road from development (pending Government inspection), but the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework is still proposing to build of THOUSANDS OF HOUSES on Royton's Green Belt. The latest proposal includes the following:
-
Beal Valley – 480 homes
-
Broadbent Moss – 1,450 homes and 21,720 sqm employment floorspace
-
Cowlishaw – 460 homes
In addition to the above, there is also the Stakehill development (adjacent to Tandle Hill) straddling Castleton and North Chadderton which will invariably have an impact on Royton residents. This development will provide 1,680 homes and 150,000 sqm employment floorspace.
The greenbelt allocations proposed for development by the GMSF can be viewed in the interactive viewer below. The map can be controlled using the integrated drag and zoom features to zone in on the areas of interest.
