Town hall bosses have confirmed plans for 53 new homes as part of the emerging regeneration of Stretford town centre. The properties will be built on the Lacy Street car park and former Royal Mail sorting office and probation centre opposite Stretford Mall.
Some 25 per cent of the development on the 2.3-acre site will be affordable housing. Sustainable and adaptable homes are being designed to be thermally efficient giving residents access to electric vehicle charging facilities.
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 property company Bruntwood.

If the Lacy Street scheme is approved by the Trafford council executive on Wednesday (December 18) it will then go to the planning committee for final approval.
Coun Liz Patel, Trafford’s executive member for economy and regeneration, said: “The Lacy Street site is an extremely important factor in the overall transformation of Stretford town centre.
“We are applying for permission to build 53 new homes – 14 affordable. The designs reflect feedback that we have had from residents about the need to develop houses, as well as flats, and to open up access to the canal.”
