Masterplan
A vision to guide our regeneration activities in Collyhurst
The masterplan vision is a crucial part of the regeneration of Collyhurst, setting out how the neighbourhood could be changed for the better over the coming years.
It was developed in consultation with the community throughout 2023-2025, ensuring that existing Collyhurst residents are at the heart of developing the future of Collyhurst.
The regeneration will be delivered over a number of years, and in phases. The masterplan vision will play an important role in helping secure the funding to make the regeneration happen, whilst also ensuring that the right type of development, infrastructure and community facilities are delivered.
Crucially, the masterplan vision needs to be flexible, recognising that the regeneration process will take several years.
Collyhurst Masterplan Vision
The heart of Collyhurst lies in its people, history and stories. It’s known for its proud community and the way that neighbours look out for one another.
Collyhurst will hold on to what local people say is important, while becoming an even better place to live. It will be a neighbourhood of green spaces and mature trees, where people feel safe, welcome and proud of the place they call home.
As Collyhurst develops there will be more well-built, sustainable new homes; improved transport connections and local services; places to spend time outdoors; and social spaces where people can meet, play and relax.
Key regeneration principles
When we started work on the masterplan vision for Collyhurst, we made promises to the local community based on what you told us matters most. These promises will continue to guide everything we do as the plans move forward.
We committed to:
-
Making sure the community is at the heart of plans for their neighbourhood.
-
Setting out a clear plan for where and when regeneration will happen, step by step.
-
Keeping the existing community in Collyhurst.
-
Replacing any council homes that are demolished with new ones.
-
Ensuring anyone who needs to move only has to move once.
-
Building more affordable homes in Collyhurst.
-
Supporting homeowners to stay in owner occupation.
-
A growing and sustainable neighbourhood for all residents.
How the masterplan vision took shape
The vision for Collyhurst has been shaped over a number of years through ongoing engagement with residents, stakeholders and the wider community.
Since 2023, this process picked up pace. We have been listening to residents and exploring ideas together to help shape the future of the neighbourhood.
The views and feedback from the community have played an important role in informing the development of the masterplan vision, and there will continue to be opportunities for residents to get involved and share their views as the plans progress.
Spring 2023
Work began on developing a masterplan vision to guide future regeneration phases.
Summer 2023
We got out and about in Collyhurst, hearing from residents and local organisations about priorities for the future of the neighbourhood.
Spring 2024
We shared early ideas for the masterplan vision and gathered feedback from residents.
Autumn 2025
We invited local people to share their views on the proposed masterplan vision through a public consultation.

What happens next? A phased approach to regeneration
Detailed proposals for regeneration are coming forward in phases with lots of consultation with the community at each stage.
Beyond the completion of the Phase One developments in Collyhurst Village and South Collyhurst, the focus for regeneration will be in Collyhurst Village with proposals brought forward on a phased basis in consultation with the community over the first 5 years of the regeneration programme. Attention will then turn to South Collyhurst.
The location for Phase Two of the regeneration programme in Collyhurst Village was announced at the end of 2025, with consultation taking place in 2026.
