Plans revealed for £40M apartments in Salford

A derelict site in Salford is subject to plans for £40M apartment scheme creating new jobs.

Plans have been revealed for a £40M residential development on derelict land in Salford, which developers say will bring a near £30M boost to the local economy.

Developer Forshaw Land and Property Group is seeking approval for three buildings ranging from seven to eight storeys, comprising 252 apartments at Worrall Street, Ordsall, Salford.

The scheme consists of a mix of 124 one-bedroom apartments, 21 two-bedroom duplex apartments, 80 two-bedroom apartments, one three-bedroom duplex apartment and 26 three-bedroom apartments.

It will include improvements to public space, landscaping and carparking.

Planning and development consultancy Lichfields will take forward the proposals with plans submitted to Salford council this week.

In addition to the £30M boost to the local economy, Lichfields says it will support over 200 on-site construction jobs and support 319 off-site jobs in construction related industries over the year and a half of building.

Nathan Matta, Associate Director at the Manchester office of Lichfields, said: “The proposal will create a high quality and well–designed residential development that will result in the removal of existing unsightly industrial buildings and will significantly enhance the local neighbourhood.

“This exciting development responds positively to the council’s aspirations for the area through its high quality design and accommodation mix.

“The proposed development will support the creation of a strong, vibrant and healthy community and provide a new area of high-quality public realm.”

DLA Design are the architects for the scheme.
