BUSINESS PLANNING
CASE STUDY: HATTERSLEY REGENERATION

Hattersley is a predominantly residential area located to the east of the Greater Manchester, dominated by a large public sector housing estate with over 2000 homes. The area has suffered from under investment in the physical infrastructure and a declining population. DTP played a central role in the formation proposal to establish a sustainable community in the area through the transfer of social housing to a housing association, the development of new private housing and a new district centre.

The project involves an innovative partnership structure between EP, an RSL and two Local Authorities. This will see EP underwriting £20m of land sales to guarantee the housing stock transfer and the phased sale of land to private developers to create a balanced mix of tenure and facilities and services capable of meeting the future needs of residents. The project business plan prepared by DTP was used to secure ODPM and HM Treasury approval for one of EP’s largest projects in the region.
