What infill plots we want near Hale
Around Hale, infill plots are often side gardens or gaps left between older houses; the street's character usually sets the design. In Greater Manchester, Hale sits about 8 miles south-west of Manchester; Altrincham and Sale are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Gaps in a street frontage between houses or other buildings
- Side gardens with their own road frontage
- Plots large enough for one or more homes with parking
- Land with or without an earlier planning history
Greater Manchester is a dense conurbation centred on Manchester and Salford, ringed by towns such as Bolton, Wigan, Oldham, Rochdale, Bury, Stockport and Altrincham. Green Belt separates many of these towns and covers the moorland fringe, so most housing land is previously developed: former mills, industrial estates, yards and town-centre sites. Grey belt and small edge-of-settlement fields can also come forward on the urban fringe.
What usually makes or breaks it
Character of the street
New homes need to suit the building line, height and spacing of the street.
Parking and access
A safe access and enough parking can decide small schemes.
Trees
Protected trees or trees in a conservation area can limit what fits.
In England, a planning permission normally has to be implemented within three years unless the council sets a different period, and councils aim to decide minor applications within eight weeks and major ones within thirteen.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 60 miles from Hale, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
