NORTHERN CORRIDOR

BEACALLS LANE DEVELOPMENT The land to the west of Becalls’s Lane occupies a key location near the town centre and is ideally situated to complete the connection between Flaxmill Maltings and the station along the Old Canal Path. This future, aspirational development could incorporate some of the historic features of the site including the canal basin and provide the context for a vibrant, residential-led development bringing hundreds of new homes to the town centre. Existing quality townscape lining St Michael’s Street and some of the historic industrial buildings within the area could be renovated and woven into the development to enhance the character of the scheme. The historic street grain running east – west, through Castlefields, would be extended to connect with St Michael’s Street and further create a sense of place.
