A proposal to create a new 'garden village' in the Hyde countryside, with up to 2,150 homes and various amenities, is set to be voted on by Tameside councillors next week. The plan has faced opposition from green belt campaigners since it was first included in the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework in 2016.
But the Godley Green Garden Village proposal is no ordinary planning application. Since it was first included in the ill-fated Greater Manchester Spatial Framework masterplan all the way back in 2016, green belt campaigners have been rallying against the proposals to create a new ‘garden village’ in the Hyde countryside.
Images produced in support of the application show new residents strolling among cobbled streets filled with timber-clad modernist houses, and gardens overflowing with attractively overgrown wildflowers, surrounded by trees and meadowland. “I honestly don’t think casino style spending with taxpayers’ money is right when our constituents expect their money to be spent on frontline services,” he said as he unbuttoned.
At that July meeting, Coun Warrington described the protest and comments as ‘water off a duck’s back as far as I’m concerned’. But the row intensified to fever pitch seven months later in February 2022 at a further full council meeting at Dukinfield Town Hall.
