The Winstanley and York Road Joint Venture partnership offers a far-reaching vision for the area which builds on the aspirational master planning process carried out by the Council .
At the heart of the scheme is the drive to provide more social and affordable housing and a new park with greater accessibility for all residents .

The overall masterplan delivers a sustainable mix of housing tenures and housing sizes ranging from one-bedroom studios through to six-bedroom apartments .
Ultimately , this ambitious regeneration programme will seek to deliver a sizeable number of affordable homes within the 2,550 homes proposed .
Central to the improved neighbourhood is a new community building providing combined leisure , library , community and children ’ s centres . This hub of community space is positioned to optimise the views of and the buildings relationship with the park .
