Woodford Housing Plans Spark Debate

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

Woodford’s future is being reshaped with a bold new housing plan: up to 190 homes, half affordable, on farmland off Jenny Lane — complete with parks, playgrounds, and cycling paths. Developers Richborough say they’ll study traffic, drainage, and flood risks, even though the land’s classified as green belt. They’re pushing to reclassify it as “grey belt” to meet housing demand.
