Ground broken at new homes development in Greater Manchester

The Mayor of Rochdale has launched the start of construction work at a brand-new housing development in Rochdale.

Councillor Shakil Ahmed joined David Wilson Homes North West’s Planning Director, Andrew Taylor, to officially mark the beginning of the 57-home development on Lower Lane.

The development of two, three, four and five bedroom properties, named Silver Hill Manor, will underpin approximately 100 jobs for local people during its time and will bring significant investment to the area.

In proximity of Rochdale’s vibrant town centre, Silver Hill Manor will deliver a range of high-quality, energy-efficient homes, including the refurbishment of the Grade II Listed Building, Silver Hill Farm. The brand-new community opens the door onto a wide range of essential amenities and is only a stone’s throw away from the surrounding countryside.

Since the visit, David Wilson Homes has also contributed £1,000 to the Mayor’s Charity Ball, which took place on Saturday 12^th April.

Cllr Ahmed said: “I’m delighted to witness the beginning of this exciting development which will create much-needed homes for the residents of our borough.

“Based in a fantastic location, this project will also offer exciting working opportunities for local people, so I can’t wait to see it take shape.”

Set to launch in autumn 2025, Silver Hill Manor gives prospective home buyers the opportunity to reap the benefits of Rochdale’s highly-rated schooling options, alongside convenient access to the M62 and Rochdale Train Station for commuting further afield.

Andrew Taylor said: “We were thrilled to be joined by the Mayor to celebrate the start of construction at our Rochdale development, Silver Hill Manor.

“We are looking forward to seeing this new community take shape ahead of its eagerly anticipated launch later this year.” For more information and to register an interest in the properties available at Silver Hill Manor, call the sales team on 0333 355 8480 or visit the website at David Wilson Homes in Greater Manchester.
