  • Adult Social Care Portfolio
    Date: October 2019 Version 1.0 Approved by DM 1 ECONOMY AND REGENERATION PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW Portfolio Summary Since launching my portfolio agreement back in July, we have made good progress in several areas and seen major development in potentially achieving better public transport. The Mayoral Development Corporation (MDC) is now a reality and the prospect of 3,500 new homes, many of which will be affordable, is now on the horizon. Working with Homes England and with cabinet agreeing to a £100m loan facility to ‘kick-start’ development, this represents a significant period in the regeneration of our town centre and realising the true potential our borough has. Indeed, with the Mailbox – aka the old Sorting Office – nearing completion, the first project within the MDC boundary is almost upon us, providing 119 new homes. Our work within the Market Place is bearing fruit: footfall is up 6.3% compared to the previous year, above the forecast of 5%. Of course, the success of the Produce Hall is central to the Market Place’s resurgence and I make no apology for being a vocal supporter of it. Of course, there is still much to do; I am still mindful that people want to see a more comprehensive outdoor offering. I do, too, but this must be sustainable for the long-term: we only need to look at what recently happened in Rochdale to understand that markets are a very delicate area within retail. Occupancy within Stockport Town Centre is on course to meet our 75% target and we are hopeful we will meet our target of 300 independent businesses within the Town Centre this year.

  • Reddish Baths, Library & Community Centre Approved Planning Brief
    Planning Brief Reddish Library/Community Centre/Swimming Baths/Mortuary Reddish Stockport March 2009 Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council Planning Brief Reddish Library/Community Centre/Swimming Baths/Mortuary 1.0 OBJECTIVE 1.1 The purpose of this brief is to provide planning guidance to developers to guide the regeneration/development of this important site close to Reddish District Centre. This brief is prepared by the Regeneration Economic Development and Tourism Section, Environment and Economy Directorate in consultation with the Development Control Section, Planning Policy Section, and N.P.S. Property Consultants who are the Council’s Estates and Asset Management Advisors. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 Location and Context (Plan1) This is a prominent site located on Gorton Road, 0.5 Km from Houldsworth Square and 1km from North Reddish Local Centre, and comprises 3 buildings plus an outbuilding with separate uses. The site is bounded by: to the north: by Spencer Street to the east: by unnamed passageway between Spencer Street and Melbourne Street to the south: by Melbourne Street to the west: by Gorton Road. 2.2 Opportunities This prominent group of civic buildings has significant townscape value: their public frontage to Gorton Road represents a local landmark and contributes positively to the quality and appearance of this part of Reddish, an area of predominantly residential housing that developed in the mid-late 19th century to serve local industries. 2 The group has a fine and imposing frontage, largely unaltered from its original design and external appearance. Whilst the interiors to the fire station, library and baths have all been altered to varying degrees, they still maintain a strong sense of their original character, form and function.

  • Strines- New Mills
    More Trips Out from Eccles Station J.E.Rayner 2010 Eighty two MARPLE –STRINES- NEW MILLS. This is an attractive stroll along the Goyt Valley. (For a very easy short walk go as far as Strines Station - trains back to Manchester every two hours so time your walk right). After Strines there is a relentless ascent to Brookbottom (the pub might be open!) followed by wide open views on the quiet lane to New Mills. Take the train to Manchester Victoria and from there a tram to Manchester Piccadilly Station. From here catch a train to Marple (NOT Rose Hill). Option: - turn right as you get off the tram and on Fairfield Street use the lift on the left to the link bridge lounge. STAGE I Alight at Marple Station. Go down the short approach road and turn left to Marple Bridge. Marple Bridge is an attractive stone village. The Midland is a free house selling cask marque real ales, tea, coffee, snacks and full meals. Cross the bridge over the River Goyt and turn right past the shops (The Royal Scot sells Robinson’s real ales). Fork right onto Lower Lea Road, and follow this. At the top of the gentle rise you see the hills ahead. Descend to a T with Lakes Road. Turn left along this. Follow it to the right in front of Bottoms Hall (Charmingly named, impressively sited - Georgian?). Next on the left are some lakes. Called Roman Lakes they are used for boating and fishing –take a look. Pass under the railway viaduct. On the right is a weir.

To enable us to deliver the best possible plan for the area we need and want your views as to how to do that. This will be your Local Plan for Stockport and it will set the rules for development and land uses which will have an impact on the way we live and work in the future. Our Local Plan will need to have regard to the ongoing work in relation to the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF) and the proposal for housing and employment numbers, the allocations and strategic priorities it sets across Greater Manchester. Currently the housing target up to 2035 in Stockport is 19,300 and for office space the requirement is 140,000 square metres of new space. We will update the work we are doing at the local level and have regard to what is happening with the GMSF process as it progresses whilst continuing to feed the evidence we gather in Stockport into the GMSF. In developing the Local Plan we all need to think about the ways in which we live our lives now and into the future.

  • Country Iioijs1 of Greater Mancheste
    COUNTRY IIOIJS1 OF GREATER MANCHESTE * P .•» I COUNTRY HOUSES OF GREATER MANCHESTER EDITORS :J.S.F. WALKER & A.S.TINDALL (;itiL\n<it MANCHESTER ARCHAEOLOGICAL UNIT 1985 osi CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT The country house is part of the diverse and rich heritage of Greater Manchester. This volume follows the development of the country house from the Middle Ages to the present day, using a combination of .archaeological excavation, documentary research and survey to present a coherent study of a building type which reflects the social and economic development of the community in a singularly direct way. By their survival they .demonstrate the entrepreneurial skills of the owner and the abilities of those artisans who built and maintained them. The form and function of the country house change over the centuries, and the fabric of individual buildings mirrors these changes and encapsulates much of the history of the time. Many of our country houses are in good hands, well maintained and with a secure future. Many others described in this volume are already lost, and even the land upon which they stood has been so disturbed as to allow no further site investigation. Their loss, in many cases, was inevitable but I hope that this publication will create an awareness that others, too valuable to be allowed to disappear, are at risk. The protection and refurbishment of old buildings is costly, but I am confident that present conservation policies, allied with improving public and private attitudes towards preservation, have created a strong body of opinion in favour of the constructive re-use of the best of those which survive.
