Peel L&P secured a hybrid planning permission at Hazelhurst Farm (ref. 23/81719/HYBEIA) in October 2025. This hybrid permission consists of a full permission for 155 homes as well as outline permission to build up to 245 homes. Taylor Wimpey is excited to deliver the section of the site with outline consent, on which we are proposing 175 homes. The scheme as a whole will consist of 330 new homes as we are partnering with Story Homes to unlock this exciting opportunity.
Taylor Wimpey and Story Homes are excited to work in partnership and bring forward this important development which will deliver much needed affordable and open market homes in a sustainable location. The site has been allocated for residential development in the Places for Everyone Plan for Greater Manchester which was adopted in March 2024 and forms part of the development plan for Salford. We are excited to provide this much needed residential development whilst providing a landscape-led and community driven scheme which will benefit all.
Access to the development will be achieved through Hazelhall Close, Cartmel Grove and Richmond Drive. The development will bring many benefits to the local area, including the opportunity for the construction of a new Primary School, new public open space and the provision of new shared infrastructure including foot and cycle ways which will enhance accessibility to existing transport links.
Development Map
Masterplan
Taylor Wimpey will be contributing 175 new homes to the wider landscape-led development which will provide a total of 330 new homes. The overall scheme is just as important as the homes provided and therefore, we will ensure the development integrates with the existing community. It will provide sustainable connectivity links through new cycle and footway links, as well as incorporate areas of public open space and green corridors. We will be providing financial contributions to improve the existing local area and help sustain the important facilities that are at the heart of this community.

Homes proposed
Taylor Wimpey is proposing to develop 175 new homes. These will include a mix of detached, semi-detached and mews ranging in size between one and four bedrooms. Of these homes 35 will be affordable homes for sale and rent and will meet the needs of people that the open market cannot.
As one of the largest homebuilders in the UK, we are a responsible residential developer who is committed to working with local people, businesses, community groups and local authorities to build aspirational high-quality homes with sustainable development always at the forefront of our minds.
