Brownfield land we are looking for in Dukinfield
Brownfield land in Dukinfield tends to be well located for homes; the questions are usually about contamination, demolition and neighbours. Dukinfield is in Greater Manchester, about 6 miles east of Manchester. Nearby places include Ashton-under-Lyne, Stalybridge and Hyde.
- Former industrial, commercial or depot sites
- Yards and builders' compounds within towns
- Sites on a brownfield land register (England) or similar
- Sites with known contamination where the history is documented
Most of the city-region is covered by a joint strategic plan, and Metrolink and rail corridors are a focus for higher-density homes. The eastern edge around Saddleworth includes part of the Peak District National Park, where landscape is a significant constraint on development.
Before we make an offer in Dukinfield
Contamination
Past uses can leave contamination; desk studies and site investigation show what remediation is needed.
Demolition and ground
Old foundations, tanks and services add cost, so we allow for them in our appraisal.
Neighbouring uses
Noise or smells from neighbouring businesses can affect whether homes are acceptable.
National policy in England now recognises "medium development" of 10 to 49 homes on sites up to 2.5 hectares, and asks councils to allocate at least 10% of their housing on sites of one hectare or less and a further 10% on sites of one to 2.5 hectares.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 64 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
