Broadbent Moss and Beal Valley will be the largest single allocation of new homes in the Borough over the next decade.

This chapter illustrates how delivery of infrastructure will be phased as development of the site comes forward.

Development is phased in a way to allow for the introduction of the Metrolink stop within the first few years of commencing development which will allow for enough footfall to be generated by the time the local centre is fully operational from the new local community and Metrolink users.

Whilst some parts are connected to existing infrastructure and can be brought forward more quickly, most of the new homes to the east of the Metrolink line will be dependent on the implementation of major highway schemes and new public transport facilities and will involve extensive re-modelling of land. However, the package of infrastructure works is extensive and complex, and it will the need to be carefully planned.

Each part of the allocation(s) will therefore need to deliver their component of the integrated infrastructure plan as the scheme unfolds. This will also ensure that new homes are delivered in the short, medium and long term to meet Oldham’s needs.

We will also work closely with the local education authority to identify the best way of meeting the education needs generated by the development. If identified as required, provision will be made for a new primary school on site.
