'Gentrification' fear over new homes bid
Stockport Express
|July 02, 2025
A 20-STOREY tower could be built in Stockport town centre despite concerns about it having no affordable homes.
A scheme to demolish the derelict Victoria House building and Fletcher Street car park have been recommended for approval by Stockport council's officers, ahead of a town hall meeting tomorrow (Thursday) where councillors will vote on the plans.
Developed by Progressive Living and managed by Picture This, the project has been supported with a £5.7m grant from the Greater Manchester Combined Authority and will bring 245 new homes to the town.
They will be a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments and 12 two-bed townhouses, in a build-to-rent development with plans for a rooftop garden and community spaces on the ground floor.
The scheme has been designed to be 'car free' apart from 11 accessible bays in a central courtyard, accessed from Fletcher Street.
