The proposed development of Ryebank Fields has been protested against for years. The grassland, owned by Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU), has been used by residents of both Chorlton and Trafford as a place to walk dogs and enjoy nature since the university stopped using the land for sports and recreation back in 1996.
Campaigns by residents, community groups and Extinction Rebellion have not, so far, managed to stop MMU going ahead with their plans for the land to be developed into a sustainable neighbourhood of 120 homes.
And, earlier this month, MMU announced their preferred developers to take on the project - a partnership between Southway Housing and Step Plan.
The proposed plans include at least 20 percent affordable housing, net zero carbon housing and a third of the site remaining open to the public.
