Work is underway to build 36 new houses as part of the second phase of Covent Garden Urban Village in Stockport town centre, developed by Seddon in partnership with Stockport Council and the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA).

The new homes will be built over four sites, including Hopes Carr, and will comprise a mix of two, three and four bedroom family homes for market sale with off-road parking and gardens. Two of the sites front onto Churchgate, with another one behind Churchgate House and one behind Watson House / Chapel Studio.

A new highway connecting Waterloo Road with Orchard Street will be constructed as part of the scheme and the cobbled road on Lavender’s Brow will be restored.

Councillor Iain Roberts, Executive Member for Economic Development and Regeneration at Stockport Council, said: "Covent Garden is a pivotal project in the regeneration of Stockport town centre. By bringing more family homes to the town centre, we will improve the area, increase footfall and boost local businesses. We've made great progress with the completion of 46 homes last year and I look forward to seeing the second phase developing over the next year."
