- Proposed 4-bed house plans show garage, front parking, rear gardens

A substantial 30,000 sq ft (approx. 0.69 acre) freehold plot in Breightmet with outline planning for two detached houses and proposals being advanced for a further six dwellings — a potential eight‑unit residential scheme. The site sits within an established, quiet residential street with all mains services nearby and straightforward access to the A666, M61 and local rail links (around 30 minutes to Manchester).
This opportunity suits small-to-mid sized developers or residential investors: strong local buyer and rental demand, low local crime and fast broadband/mobiles support family and professional markets. Proposed 4‑bed, two‑storey units on the submitted plans include integral garages, front parking and private rear gardens; the layout indicates medium-density suburban housing with a compact garden footprint.
Key considerations are that only outline consent currently exists for two detached homes — the additional six units remain at proposal stage and will require further planning approvals and developer cost for infrastructure and build works. The surrounding wider area shows high deprivation indices and ‘challenged’ local-area classification; these factors influence price levels, tenant profile and potential resale value compared with more affluent suburbs.
Overall this plot offers clear development momentum and excellent transport connectivity, balanced by planning risk for the extra units and local socio-economic challenges. The site is well-suited to buyers targeting a value-led new-build or rental scheme who can manage planning progression and build delivery efficiently.
