en.Wedoany.com Reported - Housing provider Mosscare St Vincent's (MSV) has reached an agreement with developer Bellway to deliver 122 affordable homes on the former Gatley Golf Course in Stockport, as part of a 244-home development on the site. The homes provided by MSV include affordable rent, intermediate rent (capped at 66% of market rent), and shared ownership, while Bellway will develop the other 122 homes for open market sale.

Charlie Norman, Chief Executive of MSV, said this is great news for Stockport, turning an undeveloped and unused site into homes for local residents. He noted that the UK remains in a housing emergency, with families in urgent need of affordable homes, and MSV has a strong track record of delivering such housing and fulfilling its commitments, best serving long-term investment in the area. The development will bring £49 million of investment to the site.

Bellway submitted a reserved matters plan in April, proposing to build a mix of one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom homes and apartments on the 44-acre disused golf course. This follows Hollins Strategic Land being selected as the preferred bidder in 2025 and obtaining outline planning permission for the site's redevelopment after an appeal in early 2025.

Mathew McAdam, Managing Director of Bellway's Manchester division, said he is delighted to have reached an agreement with MSV Housing, which will make a significant contribution to the supply of affordable homes in Stockport and help accelerate the delivery of new housing. He believes high-quality affordable homes are a fundamental element in building strong, inclusive, and diverse communities, and looks forward to developing the former golf club, delivering high-quality Bellway homes in such a charming setting in Stockport.
