Glenbrook has submitted a full detailed planning application for the residential and public realm elements of Lumina Village, a £250m mixed-use scheme in Trafford, Greater Manchester.
Working in partnership with Bruntwood and Trafford Council, the proposals, which were designed by Sheppard Robson and landscape architect Re-form, include the development of six blocks of apartments and 53 three-storey townhouses offering 639 new homes.
The partners will deliver a mix of one-, two- and three-bed apartments and three- and four-bedroom houses for private rent, private sale, shared ownership and affordable rent – at least 15% of the homes will be affordable housing.
The plans also include 5.4 acres of public realm and 5,300 sq ft of retail space on the ground floor – Avison Young is the planning consultant.
Shannon Conway, residential director at Glenbrook, said: “This planning application marks the first stage in the delivery of Trafford’s wider Civic Quarter masterplan. We have worked closely with Bruntwood, Trafford Council and our design team to ensure that the type of homes we are creating will meet the market need now and in the future, as well as delivering a new public realm based on age 8-80 principles that will benefit both the new and existing community. Subject to a positive outcome at committee, we aim to start on site in Q2 2023.”
Andrea George, town centre and consumer brands director at Bruntwood, added: “Together with Trafford Council and Glenbrook, we’re committed to creating high-quality, people-focussed spaces where communities can come together and thrive. The community has been at the heart of the plans to create a vibrant new neighbourhood at Lumina Village, which forms an important part of our wider transformation in Trafford. It’s fantastic to see the project take another step forwards with this latest milestone.”
Bruntwood and Trafford Council secured outline planning consent to redevelop the former 12-acre Kellogg’s site in 2020 and appointed Glenbrook in December last year to deliver the residential offer and public realm at Lumina Village. The wider site will also house up to 200,000 sq ft of offices, a primary school and a 100-bedroom hotel.
