Plans to build four blocks - one towering 42 storeys - for more than 1,500 homes in a historic area of Salford once featured in a painting by LS Lowry have been submitted to the city council. The first of three phases of the scheme will see 585 apartments on top of 20,000 square feet of ground floor commercial space in the highest building,w which will be built at Greengate if approved.
Phases two and three will see a maximum of 518 and 444 apartments in other blocks, respectively, along with parking for 220 cars. AQ Investments, a partner of Renaker Build Ltd, says it will be submitting a "hybrid planning application" to the city council, which includes a new public park.
Deloitte Real Estate has tabled an environmental impact assessment and scoping report ahead of more detailed proposals for Greengate. Full planning permission is sought for phase one of the scheme on four acres of land bounded by Greengate to the north, Collier Street to the west, Queen and King Street to the south and Gravel Lane to the east.
