News Archive - February 2010Plans Approved for Salford Central THE GO-AHEAD has been given for a substantial development in the city of Salford. The approved application, submitted by English Cities Fund with the support of Central Salford Urban Regeneration Company, was larger than that submitted for the first phase of MediaCityUK and will link key sites such as the University of Salford and The Crescent, Chapel Street and the region’s business district – Spinningfields. Covering an area of 17.744ha, the plans will create the conditions to assist the successful regeneration of the area, which includes a number of distinct districts including: Salford Central Station, Chapel Street, Adelphi and the Historic Core, which features the Adelphi and Bexley Square Conservation Area and listed buildings such as St Philips Church and Salford Cathedral. The Chapel Street area occupies a key location and is the western gateway, which links the rest of Salford, including MediaCityUK, through to Manchester city centre. The plans would see Chapel Street restored, improving the setting of its historic buildings. The proposed development is centred on creating sustainable communities with the correct balance of uses. New offices, commercial, retail and leisure uses will be complemented by family housing and apartments linked by public realm and civic spaces. A new square, St Johns Place, is planned to maximise the view of the newly renovated Salford Cathedral. A new Commercial Quarter will make the most of Salford’s strategic location next to Spinningfields and the corporate heart of Manchester. The floor space for the proposed development includes: 849 new homes, 390 hotel rooms, 24,000 sqm of retail, food and drink and entertainment space and 197,000 sqm of office space. Planning consultancy DPP helped secure outline permission for the scheme, with Eversheds providing legal advice, architects Glenn Howells and RHWL creating a masterplan led design. « |
