Working together for the future of Oldham

Draft vision for Oldham Town Centre

We’ve set out our vision for building up to 2,000 new homes across five Character Areas in the Town Centre over the next 15 years.

Muse and Oldham Council have formed a long-term partnership to deliver positive change for the town.

This summer between 24 July 2024 and 11 September 2024, we invited you to find out more about our plans and to get involved in the community conversation. We are now reviewing your feedback and comments before finalising our plans.

If you have any questions, you can get in contact with us at contact@OldhamTownLiving.co.uk.

Area 1
The Civic and Residential Quarter

Our Development Framework proposals

The Development Framework is a document which will guide planning and development in Oldham Town Centre by setting out our vision for up to 2,000 new homes in the Town Centre, across the five Character Areas.

Together, our plans will provide Oldhamers with a better choice and a greater supply of new homes, both available to buy and to rent. In designing and building these new homes, we want to celebrate Oldham’s industrial past while looking towards a bright, modern future. The homes will be built in a safer and healthier environment, prioritising local jobs and learning as part of the wider development of the areas. Our goal is to create an inclusive and welcoming place to live and spend time in, and we want to create the plan in conversation with you. This summer between 24 July 2024 and 11 September 2024, we invited you to find out more about and to get involved in the community conversation. We are now reviewing your feedback and comments before finalising our plans.

A partnership
committed to deliver

 

Muse is a nationwide placemaker with almost 40 years of experience in creating mixed-use communities across the UK. This includes ongoing partnership working across Greater Manchester, including delivering regeneration in Prestwich and Stockport.

We have a track record of leading complex, area-wide regeneration projects, and the experience to accelerate new neighbourhoods, with the emphasis on delivery, quality, and sustainability. We’re working with partners in 40 places across the UK from Bradford to Brentford, from Salford to Lewisham, with close to 2,500 new homes and 800,00 sq ft of workspace currently on site and a gross development value of over £1.2bn.

 

As a network of regional businesses with a shared culture and goals, we combine local insight with the resources and capabilities of a large national player. Our regional teams are based in Salford, Leeds and London.

As part of Morgan Sindall Group, we have the financial strength of a leading UK construction and regeneration group with an annual revenue of £3.2bn behind us.

Our focus is on strong partnerships in the many places we work across the UK and our national strategic joint ventures, The English Cities Fund – with Legal & General and Homes England – and Waterside Places with the Canal & River Trust.

We’re Muse and with Oldham Council we’re building a brighter future, together.
