Carrington Village Residential Site Snapped Up

Carrington Village Residential Site Snapped Up

Wain Estates has concluded the sale of a prime residential site within the planned Carrington Village development in Greater Manchester.
 
The 15-acre site, known as The Meadow, has outline planning for circa 160 homes and was acquired by Anwyl Homes Lancashire in a deal concluded within three months.
 
The sale is part of Wain Estate’s long-term strategy to partner with like-minded developers to transform the vast former Shell Refinery site at Carrington into a green, sustainable mixed-use community.
 
Wain Estates director, Jack Brister, said: “We want to work alongside other developers who share our ambition to create genuinely sustainable places of quality and interest for people to both live and work.
 
“We have invested significantly in infrastructure and remediation and it is exciting to see projects progress as we move forward with the wider Carrington vision.”
 
The wider New Carrington extends to circa 2,000 acres and is one of the UK’s largest regeneration schemes with a masterplan proposing to deliver 6,000 homes and new community facilities together with four million sq.ft of commercial accommodation.
 
John Grime, managing director for Anwyl Homes Lancashire, said: “The redevelopment of the Carrington Estate is a landmark project and one that Anwyl was keen to be involved in. The vision for Carrington Village is of a vibrant new community providing homes, commercial premises and community facilities. We’re looking forward to playing our part to work alongside Wain Estates in the regeneration scheme by building new homes on The Meadow as part of the wider new neighbourhood.”
