Episode Details

Stockport’s council is in hot water, ranked dead last in the North West for housing delivery—falling way short of its target to build 3,400 homes between 2022 and 2025, delivering only about 1,450. While cities like Manchester and Bolton surge ahead, Stockport’s delay is forcing families into temporary housing or even relocation, with some waiting up to 12 years. To fix this, the council must now add a 20% buffer to land for housing, likely meaning more greenbelt development—and new projects will get automatic approval presumptions. Still, there’s hope: Stockport leads in social rent builds, major regeneration projects are underway, and billions in future investment could transform the borough’s housing landscape.
