Modern townhouses
On Furnace Street in Hyde, we transformed a redundant, post-industrial site into six high-specification contemporary townhouses. Acting as lead consultants, we delivered planning strategy, technical due diligence, and development oversight to ensure the project achieved maximum market value. The scheme reached completion on schedule and attracted immediate buyer interest, proving its strength as a commercially sound investment and a significant enhancement to the local urban fabric.
Furnace Street presented an unusually complex development environment. The site’s proximity to a former coal mining operation meant adverse ground conditions and heightened structural risks. From a protracted and challenging planning process to technically demanding construction stages, the project required precision-led problem solving at every step.
Our approach combined specialist ground reinforcement and soil remediation to stabilise the terrain and mitigate legacy mining impacts. The architectural design not only delivered aesthetic appeal but also respected the context of the area, ensuring planning approval while optimising future saleability. The result is a scheme that stands as a case study in risk-managed transformation, turning an underutilised plot into a commercially viable, high-demand residential asset.
The completed development features six three-storey brick-built townhouses, each offering:
Beyond strong sales performance, the project rejuvenated a section of Tameside, increasing local property values and attracting a new demographic to the area.
