Plans for a new 17-storey office block in Deansgate have been approved one year after a similar scheme for the site was rejected by Manchester council.
The new skyscraper will be located opposite the Ramada Renaissance hotel which is due to be refurbished with a new 26-storey tower built alongside it.
The proposal to demolish Speakers House at 39 Deansgate to make way for a new office building has been given the go ahead by the planning committee.
