We recently broke ground on the ‘Two Didsbury Point’ scheme with Citybranch developers who are developing the scheme for Southway Housing Trust. It will provide 30 homes for social rent and 46 for shared ownership in an affluent urban village where affordable housing options are limited. The one and two-bed homes will be built across two connected eight and five storey blocks with an outdoor communal terrace and green spaces for residents to enjoy. The 1,200 square metre purpose-built ground floor medical centre, delivered in partnership with Citybranch Healthcare, will help to improve community health facilities with appointments, testing, minor surgery, dermatology and physiotherapy all provided under one roof. There will be onsite car parking for residents, medical centre staff and patients, electric vehicle charging bays and bicycle storage. Southway has also worked with Greater Manchester’s Ecology Unit to promote biodiversity with bat and bird boxes, safe routes for hedgehogs, a mix of landscaping and an insect hotel featured at the development. Partners and local politicians joined together to help celebrate the start of work on site.
