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.
​
​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.
​
Tameside Council was granted outline planning permission in November 2023 for Godley Green to unlock up to 2,150 new homes over the next 16 years.
The Council have now reached an agreement with MADE Partnership to work together to deliver Godley Green Garden Village. This will involve working with the site's existing developers and landowners to agree a comprehensive master development strategy for the site. Both organisations are seeking to conclude negotiations on the final terms of their master development partnership in 2025, with the aim of starting on site in early 2026.

Timeline
The innovative Godley Green Garden Village Development has taken another step forward. An application was approved with conditions for outline planning permission in November 2023. The outline element defines the scale and nature of a proposed development, whilst details are included for the access points. Further detail will be agreed through 'Reserved Matters' applications at a later stage.
The planning application is available to view online. It was subject to public and independent professional scrutiny before a decision was made.
​
In November 2024, Tameside Council and MADE Partnership reached an agreement to work together to deliver Godley Green Garden Village. During the initial period of exclusivity, MADE Partnership and Tameside Council will work with the site’s existing developers and landowners to agree a comprehensive master development strategy for the site. Both organisations will seek to conclude negotiations on the final terms of their master development partnership in 2025, with the aim of starting on site in early 2026.
