Lower Medlock Valley

The Lower Medlock Valley neighbourhood represents one of the best development opportunities near the centre of Manchester. The area benefits from an interesting topography, a river running through it and generous green space. Significant areas of clear space will allow for extensive sections of new development.


We want the Lower Medlock Valley to be a high-quality neighbourhood with a strong family focus and distinctive local amenities, to attract those who could choose to live in other parts of Manchester or elsewhere.

Building on the Valley’s ease of access to the city centre, we are looking for quality urban design, desirable homes and generous public spaces.

The range and choice of housing, the beauty of its river and surrounding valley and the neighbourhood’s manifest commitment to sustainability will all help to ensure that the Lower Medlock Valley becomes a highly desirable place to live.
