Beal Valley’s Big Housing Push | Manchester News
Description
Barratt Homes is set to build up to 192 homes on Birshaw Farm in Oldham’s Beal Valley — part of a bigger plan for 2,000 homes, new roads, and a Metrolink stop. Touted as boosting jobs and local value, the project sparks backlash from longtime residents who fear losing cherished green spaces and community character. While developers promise tree preservation and new public areas, locals worry about sacrificing natural beauty for urban sprawl — a classic clash between growth and heritage that Oldham Council must now navigate.
