Plans to be submitted for new homes on former Stretford Mail Sorting Office

Trafford Council has applied for planning permission to build 53 new homes on the Lacy Street car park and former Royal Mail sorting office and probation centre in Stretford.

The residential development, planned for the site opposite Stretford Mall, will deliver 25 per cent affordable, sustainable and thermally efficient housing.

The proposal that has been put forward by the Council introduces two, three and four-bedroom houses and two-bedroom apartments, with the tallest structures reaching a maximum height of 3.5 storeys. The designers on the scheme are Pozzoni architects.

The Lacy Street site forms part of the overall regeneration of Stretford outlined in the 2021 and 2024 Masterplan. Stretford Mall, across from the Lacy Street site, is currently being redeveloped by the Council in partnership with Bruntwood.
