Trafford pushes ahead with Stretford resi

A 53-home scheme could be built on the site of the former Royal Mail sorting office that was demolished in 2020.

Working with RJK Consulting, Trafford Council has lodged early-stage plans that outline its intentions for a 2.3-acre site on Lacy Street.

Trafford’s vision for the site is 53 homes ranging from two-bedroom apartments and townhouses to four-bedroom family housing, according to an EIA scoping report by RJK. The aim is for a 25% affordable provision across the site.

The council acquired the site in 2019 and it forms part of a wider 27-acre masterplan for Stretford that also includes the mall, which the authority is redeveloping in partnership with Bruntwood.

Fronting the Bridgewater Canal and located on the corner of Chester Road and Edge Lane in Stretford, the Lacy Street site has been vacant since 2018 when the Royal Mail relocated its operations to Old Trafford.

Pozzoni is advising the council on the proposals. To learn more about the plans, search for reference number 114329/EIASCR/24 on Trafford Council’s planning portal.
