Planning permission has been granted for the Far East Consortium (FEC) International Limited’s £200m residential development at Angel Meadow in Manchester.

The new scheme will comprise 756 new homes for sale across four buildings, which will border Angel Meadow Park, one of the city’s largest open green spaces, which forms part of the city centre’s NOMA neighbourhood, which sits right on the doorstep of the revamped Victoria station.

Gavin Taylor, Regional General Manager at FEC, said: “We are delighted to have been granted planning permission for Angel Meadow. The scheme will provide high quality homes to suit a range of buyers from first time buyers to professionals, and families, creating a new sense of place and community in NOMA.”

Angel Meadow will incorporate a combination of apartments and townhouses across four plots, centred around Angel Meadow Park on Gould Street, Aspin Lane and Old Mount Street.

The first phase to launch will be plots two and three, which are situated on Aspin Lane and comprise two apartment buildings of 22 and 17 storeys and includes 286, one, two and three bedroom homes with facilities including a gym and 24 hour concierge as well as ground-floor commercial space.

Later phases will include a 41 storey residential tower with retail and leisure space on the ground floor and 333 apartments. The fourth building has been designed in keeping with surrounding buildings, rising to nine and 12 storeys respectively. The scheme will comprise five three-bedroom townhouses and 131 one two and three-bedroom apartments. A pedestrian walkway will run through the new development, linking the park to the neighbouring buildings.

Construction is expected to start in early 2018.
