Approval for £27m residential scheme in Salford

A £27m residential development in Salford has been given planning permission.

Salford City Council’s planning committee gave a unanimous thumbs up for IBI Group’s scheme at Outwood Wharf less than nine months after its initial submission.

The new build development comprises 246 residential apartments made up of one, two and three-bedroom properties in the form of six, eight and 18 storey blocks including 3-storey townhouses. An enclosed central courtyard carefully conceals underground resident’s car parking.

“IBI Group’s creative design team worked tirelessly to ensure proposals for this significant Salford development delivered a high quality, value added solution,” said Daniel Barker, director of Peterloo Estates, acting as agent.

“The design of Outwood Wharf projects a contemporary overall finish whilst being conscious of its locality.”

IBI’s Neil Lewin added: “It was thoroughly rewarding to be involved in this prestigious scheme. We’re delighted to have gained the approval so quickly, particularly given the size of development, and receiving such positive comments from the Planning Committee was particularly pleasing.”
