Developers have now launched a consultation on the development of the controversial land
Protestors have been dealt a new blow in the controversial development saga at Chorlton's Ryebank Fields.
However, the partnered developers' initial vision has been criticised 'as an exercise in greenwashing' via campaigns and protests by residents and community groups i.e. 'Friend of Ryebank Fields' who have protested entirely against the development for years. Step Places and Southway Housing Trust say they are "pleased to have this opportunity to bring forward these proposals for much-needed, zero-carbon homes in South Manchester, purposefully designed with a strong community focus, in a way that is sensitive to the local environment."
"A few 'bug hotels' are offered to compensate for the loss of two big fields of wildflowers and the footpath including streetlights and infrastructure will further destroy the wildlife corridor. Woods are not there for window dressing - they are habitats for creatures. To rip it all up and call it an 'eco-development' is tragic."
"The developers are claiming it will offer 'ample space to walk, run, cycle and enjoy the space' - in reality it will be a huge reduction in the space available to do all these things that we can currently do on the fields. "The country is waking up to the value of rewilding, and nature being in charge, and understanding we can’t manage everything, and we have to allow areas for nature to recover."
Residents also expressed concern at the consultation feedback form on the online proposal page. Hannah said: "The five questions in the online consultation are demonstrably not designed to elicit genuine feedback from the community, eg 'New housing should be considerate of the surrounding environment and community' - a general principle, not a specific reference to the fields."
