£40m apartments scheme approved

Worral Street

Work is set to start in the new year on a £40m development of 232 new apartments in an up-and-coming area of Salford.

Bolton developer Forshaw Land and Property Group has secured approval for three buildings ranging from seven to nine storeys, comprising 232 apartments at Worrall Street, Ordsall, Salford.

It appointed national planning and development consultancy Lichfields, to deliver the proposals with DLA Design as architects on the scheme.

The plans, which were approved by Salford City Council, will consist of 107 one-bedroom apartments, 19 two-bedroom duplex apartments, 77 two-bedroom apartments, one three-bedroom duplex apartment and 28 three-bedroom apartments. It will include public space improvements, landscaping and car parking.

Lichfields says the development will support more 200 jobs and bring a near £30m boost to the local economy.

Nathan Matta, planning director at the Manchester office of Lichfields, said: “This exciting development responds positively to the council’s aspirations for the area through its high quality design and accommodation mix.”

Lichfields’ economic analysis shows the £41m scheme will sustain 211 on-site construction jobs and support 319 off-site jobs in construction related industries over the one-and-a-half-year build.
