The strategy to transform Bury town centre includes housing blocks close to The Rock to create 'a vibrant, mixed use town centre hub'
A vision for a transformed Bury town centre by redeveloping the Mill Gate Shopping Centre and the surrounding 15 acres to include less retail and more housing has been put forward. Bury Council has published an update to its strategy for the town centre shopping complex after it acquired the centre and wider estate alongside joint venture partner Bruntwood in April 2022.
The vision puts forward proposals to deliver 120 homes within its first development phase, with up to 700-800 over the entire masterplan period of 15 to 20 years. The council hopes the regenerated area will be suitable for modern retail while also catering for the leisure sector. The document sets out the suitability of the town centre for housing. It states: “There is an opportunity for the Mill Gate to deliver new homes, optimising the use of brownfield land, to support the delivery of a vibrant, mixed use town centre hub.
“The current amount of retail floor space within the framework area is unsustainable due to the significant shift towards online shopping and new, less traditional, forms of retail and leisure. The area lacks a wider mix of uses and insufficient access to high quality, mixed tenure, multi-generational housing.
