en.Wedoany.com Reported - Planning permission has been granted for the residential conversion of Wythenshawe's Alpha House. The project will deliver 125 affordable homes, all as one- and two-bedroom apartments for social rent. This forms part of the £500 million regeneration plan for the town centre, marking a new step forward in Wythenshawe's housing transformation.

Alpha House was originally built as an office block in the 1970s. Its upper floors have been vacant for over 15 years, and the building has now been demolished. The new affordable housing will include 16 wheelchair-accessible homes. The project will feature energy-efficient design and provide outdoor and communal spaces. This is the third residential plot to receive approval, following C2 The Birtles and Brotherton House.

In December 2025, the developer, in partnership with Wythenshawe Community Housing Group, submitted applications for a total of 422 affordable homes. Earlier this month, both C2 The Birtles and Brotherton House received planning permission. Together, the three projects will deliver over 400 affordable homes for social rent in Wythenshawe.

Development Director Joe Stockton said: "The approval of Alpha House, alongside C2 The Birtles and Brotherton House, marks a significant milestone in delivering over 400 affordable homes for Wythenshawe. These three new communities are central to the wider vision for Wythenshawe, complementing exciting town centre improvements such as the food hall, cultural centre, and modern workspace." The affordable housing initiative aims to enhance town centre vitality and benefit the local community.
