Galliford Try Partnerships has formed a joint venture (JV) with Trafford Housing Trust to build around 600 new homes in Greater Manchester.

More than £100 million is being invested to deliver the project at Heath Farm Lane, Partington.

Work has now started on the consultation process, following which a planning application will then be submitted. Construction is set to begin in late 2018.

The scheme involves developing a mix of one to five-bedroom properties including apartments and family homes, as well as 'affordable' homes.

Galliford Try Partnerships' Chief Executive, Stephen Teagle, said: "This is an exciting opportunity to work with Trafford Housing Trust and deliver a high-quality development that provides great homes, a great environment and contributes to the wider regeneration of Partington. It will also provide jobs for local people and add to our growing housing pipeline across the North West."

Larry Gold, Deputy Chief Executive from Trafford Housing Trust, added: "Being based in Trafford, we are very familiar with both the challenges and huge opportunities that the Partington district has to offer. This scheme is just one of several transformational programmes in the pipeline for the area, and we look forward to working with Galliford Try Partnerships to drive this first phase of development."
