A substantial 18-hectare former golf course on Motcombe Road with outline planning permission (Ref: DC/081468) for up to 278 dwellings, positioned between Gatley and Heald Green in south Manchester. The site is predominantly greenfield, well screened by boundary landscaping and mature trees, and lies within an established residential neighbourhood with nearby primary schools and local amenities.
The land is split into two parcels by the Manchester to Styal railway in a deep cutting; the parcels are linked by an existing bridge. This arrangement creates distinct development zones but will require careful design coordination and access planning. The site is equidistant (approx. 1.3km) from Gatley and Heald Green railway stations and about 3km from Manchester Airport, offering strong connectivity—note this proximity may introduce aircraft noise considerations.
Practical positives include no identified flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and immediate access to shops, cafes and Cheadle Royal Retail Park. Important constraints: tenure is unknown, the permission is outline (reserved matters and conditions will follow), and development will need to account for the railway crossing, existing landscaping, and interface with surrounding homes and adjacent school sites.
This is a major landholding aimed at housebuilders or investors seeking a large-scale suburban scheme in a well-connected part of south Manchester. The site offers clear development potential together with identifiable planning and delivery tasks that a buyer must resolve through detailed design and infrastructure planning.
