Plans for a new 100 house development in Salford Crescent have been submitted to the council.
Situated on Peru Street, the scheme will see the one and two-bedroomed Passivhaus apartments built within a part five and part six storey building.
Submitted by the English Cities fund (ECF), the development forms part of an ongoing £2.5bn regeneration scheme throughout the area, promoting sustainable transportation, open-plan living and minimising fuel consumption.
ECF is a strategic joint venture between nationwide placemaker, Muse, Legal & General, one of the UK’s leading financial services groups and major global investor, and the government’s housing and regeneration agency, Homes England.
Joe Stockton, development manager at ECF, said: “Creating places that work for people and the broader environment means looking at how we bring sustainable regeneration forward.
“As a business and as a partnership, we have both a responsibility and an opportunity to create future-proofed places, neighbourhoods, and communities that respond to the climate crisis.
“Our work at Crescent will exceed this through a holistic approach that will benefit everyone in the long term, bring people together and connect them to some of the stunning green and blue assets Salford has to offer.”
The move is part of a joint effort between Salford City Council and the university.
City Mayor Paul Dennett said: “This application is another step forward in the partnership’s bold vision for transforming Salford Crescent and creating a new district to work, live and play.
“The inclusion of affordable housing which also considers energy costs is crucial to tackling the national housing shortage, the cost of living crisis and climate change and this scheme supports our ambition to create more affordable homes in Salford to help local people. I will follow the progress of this application with interest.”
Subject to planning consent, building is set to begin early 2024.
