Plans have been submitted for 42 new affordable three bedroom homes in Salford that will form part of Adelphi Village.
The proposal made by ECF (formerly The English Cities Fund) will hope to introduce a residential community situated to the east of the River Irwell.
If plans are approved the houses will begin to be built in the summer of 2025 on Cleminson Street’s Farmer Norton car park in Salford.
The newly introduced residential area will be one of the six development zones that make up the £2.5bn Crescent Salford masterplan.
Delivered by the Crescent partnership, comprising Salford City Council, University of Salford and ECF – a joint venture between Homes England, Legal & General and nationwide placemaker, Muse – the masterplan aims to provide up to 3,000 homes in total.
Residents of the affordable homes, designed by dRMM Architects, will benefit from reduced energy bills of up to 90% compared to traditional housing.
The homes will also offer new residents a comfortable living environment, enhanced ventilation, and sustainable design and build.
Following the submitted planning application Salford City Mayor Paul Dennett said: “It is positive news that the planning application for 42 affordable and energy efficient homes has now been submitted for the Planning Panel to consider.
The proposed housing on Farmer Norton will aim to follow the success of Greenhaus, which saw 96 Passivhaus homes delivered on Chapel Street.
The development of Chapel Street was the largest Passivhaus project in the North West at the time of completion in March 2024.
The plans will also follows the work Willohaus – a community of 100 Passivhaus apartments located on Peru Street – which is scheduled to complete in 2026.
Following the proposal Steve Thomas, senior development manager at ECF, said: “Through the creation of Passivhaus communities like Farmer Norton.
“We’re bringing together placemaking, regeneration and investment expertise to bridge the gap for affordable, high-quality, sustainable homes.
“We’ll build on the success and learnings from Greenhaus and Willohaus, ensuring we continue to deliver much-needed housing that has a positive impact on the environment and the people of Salford.”
