The 639-home project is part of the wider redevelopment of the 12-acre former Kellogg’s site being led by Bruntwood and Trafford Council.
The JV selected Glenbrook to deliver the residential element of the £250m mixed-use scheme, known as Lumina Village, last year.
The developer has now submitted its proposals for the site to Trafford Council.
The scheme comprises a mix of one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom houses and apartments. The flats will be delivered across six blocks ranging from six to 20 storeys.
At least 15% of the homes will be available on affordable tenures, according to Glenbrook.
As well as homes, 5.4-acres of public realm, 5,300 sq ft of retail space on the ground floor, and 200 parking spaces also form part of the plans.
Sheppard Robson is the architect, Avison Young is the planning consultant and Re-form is the landscape architect.
“This planning application marks the first stage in the delivery of Trafford’s wider Civic Quarter masterplan,” said Shannon Conway, residential director at Glenbrook.
“We have worked closely with Bruntwood, Trafford Council and our design team to ensure that the type of homes we are creating will meet the market need now and in the future, as well as delivering a new public realm based on age 8-80 principles that will benefit both the new and existing community.”
Construction could begin in Q2 next year subject to planning approval, Conway added.
Future phases of Lumina Village, which benefit from outline consent granted in 2020, will feature 200,000 sq ft of offices, a primary school and a 100-bedroom hotel.
Andrea George, town center and consumer brands director at Bruntwood, added: “Together with Trafford Council and Glenbrook, we’re committed to creating high-quality, people-focused spaces where communities can come together and thrive.
“The community has been at the heart of the plans to create a vibrant new neighborhood at Lumina Village, which forms an important part of our wider transformation in Trafford. It’s fantastic to see the project take another step forwards with this latest milestone.”
An energy center planned in a bid to maximize carbon savings across the site also formed part of the outline proposals. However, this element has now been scrapped after further feasibility work found it to be unviable, according to planning documents.
“The cost and carbon benefit to the delivery of an energy center was explored extensively,” according to Conway. “It was concluded that there was a much greater opportunity to reduce both embodied carbon and operational emissions through fabric-first design and a materials selection approach.”
