Find out about our plans for an exciting new community in Hazel Grove
We are preparing a detailed planning application for 160 units on land south of Jacksons Lane. The proposals are to establish a masterplan for residential development that will inform more detailed design layouts in the future.
Our proposals include a variety of new homes ranging from one- to five-bedroom homes with 50% designated to affordable housing, as well as the creation of new public open space, including new recreational spaces and play areas with footpath connections to Happy Valley Nature Reserve.
It’s important to us that we listen to the view of the local community as we develop our plans, and we are holding a public exhibition on Wednesday 9th July. The exhibition will be held at Brookdale Club and Theatre, Bridge Ln, Bramhall, Stockport SK7 3AB between 3pm and 7pm and members of our project team will be on hand to talk you through our proposal and answer any questions you have.
Our consultation period ends at midnight on Thursday 31st July 2025 and all feedback received will shape our planning application, which we intend to submit to Stockport Council at the end of summer 2025. For those not able to attend, information on our proposals can be downloaded here or viewed below.

Development Map
Masterplan
Our proposals are seeking to provide a masterplan for future development of up to 160 new residential dwellings. These include:
- High quality, attractive and energy efficient homes
- Viewpoints in and out of the site, primarily from locations to the south of the site
- Topography – changes to the elevation of the site between the northern and southern parcel
- Footpaths and connections to existing Public Rights of Way and Happy Valley Nature Reserve
- Sensitive features that require buffer areas and landscaping, such as the southern boundary of the northern parcel
- Access to key facilities and services in the local area, including pedestrian connections along Jacksons Lane and to Happy Valley Nature Reserve
- New public open space, including new recreational spaces and a play area
- Prioritising active travel across the site through new pedestrian and cycle connectivity
- Creation of open, multi-functional spaces for people and wildlife

About our proposals features
Connectivity
We’ve looked at the surrounding road layout, walking and cycling routes, and the location of key services to help shape our proposed access points. This has also helped us identify opportunities to create safe and convenient links for pedestrians and cyclists.
Access into the development is to be provided via Jacksons Lane, forming a new junction into the site alongside key pedestrian and cycle routes and street hierarchy. The access point will include a 5.5-metre-wide road, 2 metre footpaths on both sides, link to the existing road network and safe and convenient route for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians
As part of the planning process, transport assessments will be carried out to understand how the proposed development could affect the road network at key locations nearby. In addition, any off-site highway improvements will be informed in consultation with the community, Local Planning Authority and Highways Authority.
Ecology
Protecting and preserving the natural environment including valued landscapes and habitats is a key priority.
Our design process involves an evaluation of the site and how it relates to the surrounding area in terms of its character and setting.
The proposed masterplan looks to create a range of habitats and a network of open spaces.
Our illustrative plans provide details of key environmental features and green infrastructure within our proposal.
- Trees and hedgerows
- Protected habitats
- Surface water and drainage features SUDs (Sustainable Urban Drainage systems)
- Public open space and play areas
- Green movement corridors
- Footpaths and cycleways
Our approach features
Open Space
Featured throughout the site, green open spaces will encourage social interaction and recreation. The lower meadow will be preserved in full as public open space, providing an opportunity to enhance biodiversity in the area alongside access to the development from Happy Valley Nature Reserve.
In line with our commitment to 10% biodiversity net gain, a mix of retained and enhanced ecological assets will allow public open spaces to flourish, featuring increased planting, wildflower meadows, boundary trees and wildlife ponds.
Movement corridors will contribute significantly to the character of the development. As well as promoting personal health and well-being, they will provide active travel links to nearby services, surrounding green spaces and communities.
