Rounds Gardens development

Latest update - September 2024

Manchester-based O'Gara completed the deconstruction of the three tower blocks and adjacent maisonettes on schedule in May 2024​.​ 

The council has now appointed cost consultants and designers to complete masterplan design options and undertake viability assessments on a number of site configurations and options.

The council has also started commissioning the necessary surveys to support any future planning application for the site.

In the meantime, you can watch a timelapse video of the deconstruction progress below.

Development plans

Councillors met on 5 February 2019 to approve the project to move tenants out and regenerate the site. The project will include the low-rise flats on the same site.

The council intends to invite specialist housing development companies to submit design proposals for the site in the coming months.
