Woven from heritage, tailored for tomorrow
Adlington is ideally placed for people working in Salford’s MediaCity, Manchester City Centre, Airport City, and for major regional employers like AstraZeneca and the NHS. The mainline train station has direct connections to Manchester, and Middlewood Way provides a 15-minute cycle to Macclesfield and the AstraZeneca campus, making Adlington a potential model for active and environmentally friendly travel.
The landownership is simple – most land available for housebuilding is in consolidated ownership.
The area is viable, meaning the new town can become self-financing.
There is infrastructure here already (especially the railway station) which can be upgraded rather than built from scratch.
It’s also a strategic location for the North West – and a chance to invest in the region because Adlington:
Is a gateway between Greater Manchester and Cheshire East.
Is close to major employment hubs in Life Sciences, Defence and Creative Industries.
Has excellent rail and road connections (mainline station, A523, M56, Manchester Airport) – which we can upgrade.
Has capacity to deliver growth with limited Government funding support.
What to expect
Our ambition is to create a self-contained, sustainable town rooted in nature and heritage.
Build a town around Adlington Hall’s historic landscape – with no development on ancient woodland or demolition of listed buildings.
Deliver homes, jobs, and community facilities together – with infrastructure invested in early to sustain the new homes as they are delivered.
Ensure green space and biodiversity are integral, not afterthoughts – with a net increase in biodiversity so that nature thrives here.
Bring Adlington Hall back into public use – ensuring generations to come can enjoy its historic architecture and wonderful grounds.
Space for businesses to grow, and with exceptional opportunities for workers to tap into.
Excellent transport links mean locals can easily visit family and friends — regionally, nationally and even globally.
Adlington will grow thoughtfully, in carefully planned phases that prioritise the environment, community services, and everyday quality of life.
