A new tower block could be built in the New Bailey area of Salford Central.
The 18-storey block, which could have over 150 ‘affordable’ homes, is proposed for a plot between Slate Yard and Trinity Way, within the major £1bn Salford Central New Bailey regeneration zone.
The planning application submitted to the council shows the block will be apart of the £1 billion development transformation of ‘New Bailey’ in Salford Central.
ECF, formerly English Cities Fund, has submitted an application for the major project to Salford City Council.
The developers want to build 153 one, two and three bed residential apartments with associated amenity space and landscaping works. Around 44 per cent of the apartments will be one-bed apartments, another 44 per cent will be two-bed and 11 per cent will be three bed apartments. The latest proposal would take the number of apartments in the regenerated area to 984.
However the current planning application states that only a minimum of 20 per cent of affordable homes, but ECF have stressed that there indication is to raise this to 100 per cent.
The tower is also set to have 154 cycle spaces, a parcel room and a street-facing public garden. The application states that some of the apartments would have views over the River Irwell.
The new high rise sits next to the Stanley Street Car Park and would be among five other apartment blocks, including the 23-storey Novella building and a 22-storey block currently under construction.
