Tamworth Estate, Greater Manchester

About:

Our vision for the Tamworth Estate is to create a liveable and sustainable neighbourhood in which people can thrive. A mixed tenure community will be brought together within a landscape that supports their individual identity and shared needs.The residential masterplan includes 147 homes –of which 50% will be affordable–, improved landscape areas and walkable routes in and across the site, linking to Merlin’s park.

The masterplan prioritises wellbeing and placemaking, providing high-quality public realm for a family and child-friendly community. Residents will benefit from a clear hierarchy of public spaces, intuitive wayfinding, and generous landscaping throughout. The design reintroduces a traditional network of streets to create a familiar, walkable neighbourhood that responds sensitively to its context. The new homes are of a similar scale to the surrounding residential streets and incorporate a range of materials and detailing in line with to the local character, reinforcing the area’s urban principles.
