Design: Tim Groom Architects
Friday 11 August 2017 – Yesterday developer Bellward Properties received planning approval from Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council for its new 363 unit PRS (private rented sector) residential development Cornbrook Works, located at the end of Chester Road on the Manchester and Trafford border.
Designed by Tim Groom Architects, Cornbrook Works will revitalise the 2.53 acre site, creating a new focal point at a key location conveniently opposite the Cornbrook Metrolink Interchange.
The development, a mix of two and three bedroom townhouses; one, two and three bedroom apartments and family-duplex apartments is arranged around a new tree lined public avenue following the route of the original Corn Brook (now an underground culvert) with private green courtyards and extensive roof top gardens.

There will be two high-rise blocks of 19 and 16 storeys fronting onto Chester Road while the majority of the proposal is made up of the townhouses and linked duplexes that relate to the local context and conservation area while screening the on-site car parking, cycle provision and other amenities.
