City, town, country, connected.
GODLEY GREEN • GARDEN VILLAGE
Ebenezer Howard, founder of the garden city concept, had a vision of places where people could work, raise families, travel easily and enjoy green spaces, this will be renewed for the 21st century at Godley Green.
​
Tameside Council has submitted an outline planning application for Godley Green to unlock up to 2,150 new homes over the next 16 years.
​
The ambitious but achievable plan is to create a new sustainable garden settlement of beauty and great design that sensitively evolves around our existing communities and landscape.
