Kellen Homes, in partnership with Great Places Housing Group, is inviting local community feedback as it prepares a Reserved Matters application for the Mirrlees Fields proposals. The development, which received outline planning approval in January 2024, will deliver 100% affordable housing comprising Shared Ownership and Rented Properties, supported by grant funding. Additionally, the development includes over 18 hectares of publicly accessible open space, which will be managed and maintained by the Land Trust, for the local community's benefit in perpetuity. As Kellen Homes prepares its Reserved Matters application, which provides specific details such as the appearance, layout, scale, and landscaping of the overall development, we are now seeking public input to shape the final plans. A two-week consultation period is now open from Monday 28 October to Monday 11 November 2024, allowing the community to provide feedback on various aspects of the project, including housing design and plans for the publicly accessible open space. Detailed information on the proposed Reserved Matters application is available at https://lnkd.in/eeGVGitr. Here, residents can complete an online questionnaire to provide their views on the reserved matters proposals.

A partnership of Greater Manchester Youth Federation and Kellen Homes alongside Great Places Housing Group, Sigma Capital Group Limited and Centrepoint have signed a deal to secure the land for a new development of 303 homes and a major youth, community and sporting hub in Gorton. The agreement gives the green light to deliver a significant investment in Manchester with the development of Mellands Park on land at Mount Road in Gorton. The scheme will bring forward 303 new homes: 36 of which will be independent living apartments for 16-to-25-year-olds leaving care, managed by Centrepoint, a charity dedicated to ending youth homelessness; and a further 60 will be affordable homes made available through Great Places Housing Group for shared ownership and social rent. The remaining 207 will be for private rent by Sigma Capital Group under their Simple Life brand. Greater Manchester Youth Federation will be building two brand-new, full-size grass football pitches, a combined netball and basketball court and a new youth and community hub. These new facilities will remain owned and managed by Greater Manchester Youth Federation. The sports facilities will be used predominantly by local grass roots football clubs for young people and GMYF affiliated clubs. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e4W94Q_n

These homes will be available to rent under Sigma's build-to-rent brand, Simple Life, providing much-needed, high-quality rental housing for local people. The site is still under construction and recently welcomed a visit from Bury council officials to see the progress. The council supported Kellen Homes with its application for Brownfield Housing Funding from the GMCA. The Brownfield Housing Fund provided a £1.95 million grant to remediate the land at York St. Read more here: https://bit.ly/4eV0a5C
