A decision will be made next month on a major housing development in Cheshire – which has been put forward by Tatton Estate. The residential development, in the sought after town of Knutsford, will see the construction of up to 250 homes within ‘Tatton Park Gate Village’.

The 40-acre plot was originally granted outline planning permission three years ago for 250 homes, but without a cap and with potential for a larger number of small PRS or retirement living units alongside homes for market sale.

Tatton Estates, who are set to speak at our North West Development Plans Conference in July, are now seeking to find a equity partner to help fund the construction.

One of the highlighted elements of the Tatton Park Gate Village is the vision to make is self-sufficient with its own energy hub, providing utilities and IT solutions direct to occupiers. The site could also be further developed with educational, sports and leisure uses all been touted as potential developments.

Henry Brooks, Managing Director of the Tatton Group and speaker at the North West Development Plans Conference, said: ”The Tatton Group is looking to create a permanent income stream from the development, so ‘long-term, clever capital’ which also shares our vision for Knutsford and our passion for the Northern Powerhouse would be an ideal partner.’

Arcadis are acting as the development partner for Tatton Estates and Director Giles Scott said: ”We’ll ideally have an equity partner in place before the summer so we can take the scheme quickly into the delivery phase.”

The major housing scheme is set to be a key topic at our conference, so join us for the North West Development Plans Conference, where we’re also set to hear from Trilogy Real Estate, Property Alliance Group, Sladen Estates and Central Manchester Holdings.
