Galliford Try Partnerships submits plans for 54-home Oldham development

Housing and regeneration firm Galliford Try Partnerships, which markets homes under the Linden Homes brand, has submitted a planning application for 54 new houses in Oldham.

The plans outline Linden Homes North West’s wish to build on the vacant 4.4-acre site formerly occupied by St Augustine’s School, located around a mile from the centre of Oldham.

If consent is granted, the firm will deliver a mix of three-bed detached and semi-detached homes and four-bed detached properties.

Galliford Try Partnerships’ development director, Darren Leary, said: “This scheme is a positive reflection of the continued growth Galliford Try Partnerships and Linden Homes are currently experiencing across the North West.

“We have worked in partnership with Oldham Council to develop plans to deliver high quality, traditional family homes that complement the existing neighbourhood.”

He added: “The scheme will increase the range of houses available in this sought after area and will help deliver the Council’s aspirations for new housing in the Borough.”

Galliford Try Partnerships, which has a base in Warrington, is currently creating 500 new homes for sale and rent in the Brunswick area of Manchester as part of a £100m effort to regenerate the area.

An Oldham Council spokesperson commented: “As part of the application process Linden Homes have estimated 54 opportunities will be created in various capacities such as work experience, apprenticeships and employment opportunities – supporting the council’s Get Oldham Working campaign.”

Galliford Try Partnerships has also committed to supporting schools, colleges and training providers in the area, according to the council.
