Housing provider secures £2.3m for Rochdale homes

Planning permission has been granted to Himor Group for Carrington Village in Trafford, the next phase in the Future Carrington neighbourhood earmarked for 6,100 homes and 4.4m sq ft of employment space.

The developer will transform two brownfield sites overlooking the River Irwell to deliver 500 apartments, after winning approval from Salford City Council. 

The investor plans to demolish the Ralli Quays office building in Salford to make way for a 260-bed hotel and 19,000 sq ft of office space across two blocks, with a planning application expected this summer. 

The council has agreed to dispose of two parcels of land to developer Salix Homes to bring forward a 157-unit development in Seedley. 

The Hong Kong-backed consortium behind what will be Salford’s tallest tower has bought its third site in Greater Manchester, in Bolton.

An application to refurbish the grade two-listed Trafford Park Hotel building in Stretford and add a 97-room extension has been withdrawn due to concerns over viability and car parking. 

The Manchester University NHS trust has won consent to build a 7,300 sq ft extension to the existing Nightingale Centre at Wythenshawe Hospital in South Manchester. 

Plans to upgrade facilities of the town’s two football clubs have diverged, with Wythenshawe Amateurs winning approval for a new clubhouse and Wythenshawe Town’s expansion hitting the buffers. 

Developer Himor has pushed back the completion date of its Carrington Gateway scheme in Trafford, citing delays caused by the coronavirus lockdown.
