Research checked
The place
Tameside's regeneration spans Ashton, Stalybridge, Hyde and Denton. Godley Green Garden Village has outline consent for up to 2,150 homes across 11 phases, taken forward with MADE Partnership. Ashton town centre is being rebuilt through a Levelling Up programme covering the Town Hall, market square and former bus interchange, and Denton is delivering town-hall and public-realm works through a Levelling Up Fund award.
Who decides and delivers
Tameside Council leads planning and land decisions and is offering council-owned sites to registered providers through a prospectus process. Two neighbourhood boards decide local priorities: the Ashton Neighbourhood Board, already committing its first tranche of projects, and the Hattersley board, chaired by an independent chair. Jigsaw Homes, Onward Homes and Irwell Valley Homes are among the registered providers active in the borough.
