One of the more historic buildings in Macclesfield looks set to be knocked down, as part of Plans to create brand new affordable housing within the town.
Hangar Seven is a building that has been a part of the local landscape for decades and was a burgeoning industrial base for a long time. It was built during the 1920s, but it has been sitting empty for more than half a decade. Now Peak and Plains Housing Trust has applied to the council for permission to knock it down and build homes on the site.
The Plans would see six large townhouses constructed, each of which has three bedrooms, as well as six flats with one bedroom each. In its application, the developer has cited the urgent need for affordable homes within this section of Macclesfield and its general move towards residential rather than industrial use.
If the project is given the green light by the council, brochure printing will no doubt be available to help the developer show off the insides of the new homes.
Buttress Architects designed both the townhouses and the flats. The intention is for the new buildings to blend in well with the existing ones in both Pickford Street and George Street.
It is not yet known when the council will announce its decision concerning the Plans.
