Project's Overview

Nestled in the heart of Cale Green, Stockport (SK3), this prime 1,453 sq ft (135 sq m) plot on Haslam Road offers a rare opportunity for residential development. Measuring approximately 20.5m x 9.5m, the land is securely enclosed by wooden gates and fencing, with direct access off a public un-adopted road behind a row of terraced houses. Its central location provides excellent connectivity to Stockport town centre, just minutes away, and easy access to Manchester via the M60 motorway and Stockport train station, making it ideal for commuters and families alike.

Stockport is experiencing significant regeneration, driving substantial value growth in the area. Key projects include the £1.5 billion Stockport Mayoral Development Zone, featuring the transformative Stockport Interchange transport hub and the iconic Stockport Viaduct redevelopment into a vibrant mixed-use destination. Proximity to Manchester’s universities, such as the University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University (both within 10 miles), bolsters long-term demand for housing. Emerging residential and commercial developments in the borough are set to enhance local amenities, schools, and employment opportunities, positioning this plot for strong capital appreciation.

With pre-application approval already secured from Stockport Council for a single-storey private dwelling (ideal for 1-2 bedrooms), this site minimizes planning risks and accelerates development timelines. Potential buyers should conduct due diligence and consult the planning department, but the approval signals high feasibility. Ample space allows for off-street parking, and while no EPC is available yet (as undeveloped land), new builds can target high energy efficiency ratings.

This is a compelling investment at offers over £50,000, offering high yield potential through development and rental in a rising market. Low entry price, established permissions, and Stockport’s growth trajectory make it a low-risk, high-reward proposition for developers and investors seeking to capitalize on Greater Manchester’s housing shortage.
