Beal Valley’s Big Development Plan | Manchester News
Description
Oldham’s Beal Valley is set for major change with a bold development plan: nearly 200 new homes at Birshaw Farm, part of a larger regional push to build 2,000 homes, create jobs, and boost infrastructure—including a brand-new Metrolink stop at Broadbent Moss. Developers promise to preserve existing trees and plant over 500 new ones, while splitting the housing into three phases around a new wetland. The project could generate 100 construction jobs, £36 million in economic value, and add £5.5 million annually in spending plus £500,000 in council tax. But locals fear losing the valley’s natural charm and tight-knit community vibe—a core reason many call it home.
