Plans to build 685 homes on the former Brackley Golf Club course in Little Hulton have been approved. Councillors on Salford's planning and transportation regulatory panel gave the go-ahead to the application from housebuilders Countryside and Bellway, who will share the development.
The developers bought the site for £39.3 million last year with joint-owners Salford council receiving £18.5 million - the biggest single capital receipt in its history. Councillors were asked to give the green light to layout, appearance, landscaping and access to the 67-acre site, a small part of which is in Bolton council's territory.
The new development will include a range of one, two, three and four bedroom detached, semi-detached and terrace and mews properties as well as 16 apartments. Planning officer Jade Corcoran said that Countryside is proposing to deliver 138 private rented sector properties.
