Mixed Use

Ask is working in a dynamic partnership with Lancashire County Cricket Club, Trafford Council, Tesco and Stretford High School to bring forward proposals for the radical redevelopment of Old Trafford cricket ground which will transform the historic venue into a premier sporting destination, giving the Club the ability to bid for more high profile matches, including internationals.

This innovative sports-led regeneration strategy is part of a 50 acre mixed use neighbourhood in Trafford and in addition to the redevelopment of the cricket ground, a range of new facilities offering educational and training opportunities for the local community will be included. 

Under consideration for the scheme is a range of mixed use activities including new business, residential, retail and leisure space, and a series of options for the listed Trafford Town Hall are evolving as part of the wider masterplan.

A planning application for the first phase of the new stadium development was approved by Trafford Council on 11 March 2010.  Construction work is expected to start in the autumn and phased until completion in late 2012.
