Plans to transform a city centre landmark, open a new supermarket and build an eco-friendly office block could all be given the go ahead in Manchester this week. Student housing and emergency accommodation for homeless families are also among the developments to be decided on Thursday (February 16).
The biggest development set to be discussed by councillors at this month's planning committee meeting would see the cinema at the Great Northern Warehouse on Deansgate ditched in favour of nearly 750 flats. In total, six of the applications on the agenda are for developments in Didsbury, with two in Chorlton, two in Ardwick, one in Whalley Range and another one in Moss Side.
Councillors on the planning committee will meet at the town hall to discuss 15 applications relating to 13 sites. Local residents and councillors who represent them will have the opportunity to speak in support or against each application.
