Research checked
The place
Manchester runs several large housing-led programmes at once, each on its own timetable. Victoria North, a joint venture with Far East Consortium, is planned to bring around 15,000 homes across seven north Manchester neighbourhoods over two decades. Wythenshawe town centre is being rebuilt in a major programme with Muse, with its first affordable phases now consented. Near Piccadilly, the Mayfield scheme has consent for 879 homes in its first residential phase.
Who decides and delivers
Manchester City Council leads planning and land decisions and is a joint-venture partner on several major schemes, while the Combined Authority shapes regional funding routes. Five neighbourhoods have Pride in Place boards under way: Benchill South & Wythenshawe Central, Harpurhey South & Monsall, Clayton Vale, Gorton South and Moss Side West. Delivery partners include the council's own development company This City, Wythenshawe Community Housing Group and Southway Housing Trust.
