Council to release land for affordable housing

Esther McVey, housing minister, has said Manchester "needs to make sure it lives up to the powers it's already got", particularly in pushing through the delayed Greater Manchester Spatial Framework.  

Renaker is targeting November to submit a hybrid planning application for three towers of between 41 and 50 storeys at Salford's Greengate.

Work has begun on the second phase of a £3.7m housing development in Eccles being built to support tenants at risk of becoming homeless.

Outside Manchester’s city centre, the need for affordable housing is great, writes Lucy Worrall, housing partner at Anthony Collins Solicitors.

Cheshire Estates has submitted a planning application to Salford City Council for a 22-storey residential building at 1 Albert Street, Eccles.

The search for a development partner to deliver the 240-acre Salford Crescent masterplan has narrowed to four parties, including partnerships between some of the region's biggest players. 

Designs for a 55-storey tower at Salford's Greengate have emerged, ahead of a consultation event due to take place next week.

Olympian and Aecom's plans for two residential towers at Portugal Street East in Manchester have moved to the next stage of the planning process, a year after first being submitted to the council.
