Phase 3 of the Sale West Estate Masterplan sees the addition of 66 affordable, low energy units, designed to Passivhaus standard. Split across three separate blocks, the housing supports a mix of wheelchair adaptable apartments, general needs for over 55’s and assisted living.

Sale West is a significant regeneration initiative aimed at tackling the prevailing housing and cost of living crisis. In total, we are delivering 263 new homes across the Sale West estate and have delivered over 80 new homes to date.

Phase 3 comprises a 66-unit social housing development which will enrich the neighbourhood – creating secure, environmentally sustainable new homes for residents. The units adhere to Passivhaus standards, ensuring air-tight, well-insulated, and ventilated spaces which will help alleviate energy costs for occupants. The development comprises of three distinct blocks:

Block 01 – General Needs, with all ground floor units meeting accessibility standards (designed to M4:3), while upper floors adhere to M4:2 specifications with M4:3 compliant bathrooms.

Block 02 – Tailored for Over 55s, boasting ground floor units that are fully accessible (designed to M4:3), with upper floors following M4:2 guidelines, featuring M4:3 compliant bathrooms.

Block 03 Dedicated to Specialist Assisted Living, where all units are designed for accessibility (conforming to M4:3 standards).

Maintaining harmony with the surrounding residences and community centre, all blocks utilise buff facing brick with brown soldier detailing and are limited to two storeys. Block 01 incorporated a modest portion of second-floor units. The majority of units benefit from private outdoor spaces, achieved through either integral balconies or patios.

The scheme further enhances connectivity by introducing new roads facilitating easier North-South and East-West transit, streamlining public bus routes. Moreover, the development seamlessly integrates proposed green spaces and pedestrian pathways into the existing public park, with Block 03 earmarking a secure sensory garden exclusively for its residents.
