Plans submitted for 37 new homes in Cheadle Hulme

Plans to transform the site of the former Hulme Hall Grammar School to create new homes in Cheadle Hulme have been submitted to Stockport Council.

Since moving to its new location in Davenport in July 2017, the old school buildings have been vacant and fallen into disrepair.

A proposal submitted by P4 Planning on behalf of Seddon Developments and PH Property Holdings has been made for a residential development of 37 homes, comprising 16 apartments and 21 houses.

The accommodation will offer new homes in Cheadle Hulme ranging from two to five bedrooms to attract first time buyers and empty nesters as well as families.

Charlotte Fowler, associate at P4 Planning, said:

“The Hulme Hall Grammar School site is a fantastic location, sitting within a predominantly residential area which will benefit from the new homes and transformation provided by this scheme.

“We have been particularly keen to get this application submitted as permission is required to demolish the old school buildings, which lie in a conservation area and have recently become a focus for anti-social behaviour. We are therefore seeking approval so the demolition and redevelopment of the site can commence as soon as possible.”

James Heyworth, land director at PH Property said:

“We are pleased to have lodged the application which is an important milestone in taking forward our plans for this challenging brownfield site.”

The professional team includes P4 Planning, Barnes Walker Landscape Architects, SK Transport Planning, Orion Heritage, Cheshire Woodlands and Dave Gowen Design.
