DeTrafford moves to preserve Transition permission
The developer is aiming to discharge several conditions attached to the planning consent for the 399-home scheme before it expires in May but no date for a start on site has been set.
DeTrafford is seeking to iron out matters relating to construction, highways and archaeology now so that it does not have to repeat the planning process once the consent lapses in six weeks’ time.
“We are eager to progress the discharge of these conditions as soon as possible so that the permission can be implemented prior to its expiry on 3 May 2022,” a planning statement prepared by Paul Butler Associates said.
Manchester City Council granted planning approval for the three-tower Transition in 2019. The development was designed by SimpsonHaugh Architects.
The scheme would be constructed on plot E of the Great Jackson Street masterplan, close to Renaker’s Deansgate Square.
The project would see the construction of two towers of 32, 26 storeys and a third 18-storey block. In addition to the 399 apartments, the plans feature 50 retirement living units.
A construction phase plan for Transition, produced by CR Construction, has been submitted to the city council but no timeframe for work to start has been provided.
CR Construction is assisting DeTrafford in discharging conditions in relation to Transition but has not been awarded a contract for the scheme as yet, Place North West understands.
Elsewhere in Manchester, DeTrafford has completed more than 600 homes during the last two years across three blocks, City Gardens, Sky Gardens and St George’s Gardens.
