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.

Frequently asked in Greater Manchester
My building is listed. Is that a problem?
Not necessarily, but it means listed building consent as well as planning permission, and design must respect the building's significance.
Do you buy buildings that need demolition?
Yes, where redevelopment is the better option and the planning position supports it.
Is Chadderton too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 70 miles from Chadderton, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
