The JV has submitted a planning application for the brownfield site, after over 12 months of working together with Trafford Council on the design of the proposed mixed-use development, including a number of pre-application meetings and local engagement.

The plans include the demolition of the conjoined buildings and the construction of six townhouses with private gardens and six apartments.

The scheme will also include a children’s day nursery with 95 places, as well as a 53-bed care home with a secure courtyard garden, in order to create a multi-generational hyperlocal community.

The care home was designed with infection control at the forefront of its service, providing wide corridors, large communal areas and break out spaces to facilitate social distancing.  

All of the bedrooms will be en-suite wet rooms, which will allow for residents to be cared for within their own bedroom, should an outbreak occur.

The care home will also incorporate sustainable technology to increase the building’s energy efficiency.

Jordan Kennedy, director at Patrick Properties, said: “This project is complex and, having discussed possible schemes with several developers over the last few years, forming the JV with the McGoff Group was absolutely the right move.

“Together, we have created a desirable multi-generational development that retains its historic charm, yet boasts contemporary character.  

“We viewed the historic buildings as assets, so the design was developed around those, with additional landscaping essential, all in keeping with the conservation area.

“We are hopeful the planning department will be supportive of the proposed mixed-use regeneration project.”

Chis McGoff, director at McGoff, added: “For several years, this property has been derelict and much of it an eyesore, particularly along Marlborough Road.  

“Working with Patrick Properties on the design along with Trafford Council has been a lengthy, but interesting process, and from this, we have a devised a pioneering multi-generational development that provides a positive and long-lasting contribution to the local area.

“We are confident the boutique collection of apartments and townhouses will prove hugely popular, and, having conducted comprehensive research, we believe there is a real need for a children’s day nursery and care facility, and particularly for purpose-built environments that are sustainable, cost-efficient and specifically designed to allow for the very best care.  

“As specialists in the care and childcare sectors, we are well versed in designing, building, maintaining and operating both day nurseries and care homes, and the group will be involved in the development after construction is completed, ensuring exemplary services are provided that are benefit to the whole community.”
