Forshaw’s City View tipped for consent
A 160-apartment development on the banks of the River Irwell in the Ordsall area of Salford is due to be given the green light next week.
Bolton-based Forshaw Land and Property is developing the 17-storey City View in partnership with Property Alliance Group, a project that has been in the pipeline for five years.
The Derwent Street development has gone through a series of iterations since it was first revealed in 2017.
Back then, the scheme reached 27 storeys and featured 183 apartments.
Those plans, designed by DLA Architecture, were scaled back to 21 storeys in 2018 before being approved but work did not start on site.
Two years later, Forshaw drafted in Jon Matthews Architects to refresh the designs. This saw the project scaled back to 14 storeys and 130 apartments.
A fourth iteration, featuring 160 apartments across 17 storeys, came to light last summer as PAG came on board. Salford City Council has recommended this project be approved when its planning committee meets next week.
Contractor Domis is lined up to build the scheme. Renaissance is the structural engineer and TPM Landscape is the landscape architect.
Lichfields is advising on planning.
