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 is in the process of preparing a planning application for Godley Green to unlock up to 2350 new homes over the next 17 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.

Timeline
The Council is preparing an outline planning application with detailed elements ready for submission in Spring/Summer 2021. The detailed elements will include the initial infrastructure required to open up the site, whilst the outline element will define the scale and nature of a proposed development. Further detail will be agreed through 'Reserved Matters' applications at a later stage.
Once submitted, the planning application will be subject to public and independent professional scrutiny before any decision is made.
