We’ve partnered with Muse to develop 2,000 new homes across Oldham town centre.
The planning applications have been submitted for six key sites, as part of the Oldham Town Living regeneration.
The submission of these applications mark a significant milestone in delivering high-quality new homes, vibrant public spaces, and exciting commercial opportunities in the heart of Oldham.
The six sites - Prince’s Gate, the Former Magistrate’s Court, the Former Manchester Chambers, the Former Leisure Centre, the Civic Centre, and the Civic Tower - form the foundation of a long-term vision to create a thriving and sustainable town centre that will deliver up to 2,000 new homes.
These plans build on the principles set out in the Oldham Town Living Development Framework, which was shaped through a 7-week community conversation in summer 2024. The final document was endorsed by Oldham Council in November 2024.
Muse is an award-winning national placemaker, headed up by Phil Mayall – a born and bred Oldhamer.
Having a development partner for this major scheme allows the council to draw on the highest levels of knowledge and expertise.
The partnership could last for up to 25 years and will mean that brownfield (previously developed sites), in the town centre are built on rather than green space.
