Salford City Council has given detailed planning consent for the delivery of a third phase at the Middlewood Locks 25-acre mixed use development.
Phase three will comprise a further 189 new homes, adding to the 1,117 new homes either under construction or completed. This includes 176 one to three-bedroom apartments situated in two buildings of 10 and 12 storeys on the northern side of the canal. There will also be 13, waterside, three and four-bedroom, three storey townhouses, suitable for family living.
Paul Kelly, Development Director at Scarborough International Properties, said: “We are delighted to secure consent to move forward with phase three as part of our full commitment to deliver the grand vision that is Middlewood Locks. This development is providing much needed homes in the city with fantastic doorstep amenity that remains in high demand. It also provides high-quality commercial and office space that will compliment and add to the existing offer at Middlewood Locks.”
The majority of the homes will have private outdoor space by way of a balcony, terrace or garden and a generous communal podium garden will be created for the benefit of the residents. There will be 61 under croft car parking spaces and 40 bicycle spaces.
The phase will also incorporate 5,150 sq ft of ground floor commercial/retail accommodation and an additional 4,970 sq ft of offices within an amenity and leisure hub which is home to a Seven Brothers Beerhouse and Co-op.
Nicola Wallis, Sales & Marketing Director at Scarborough, said: “The contemporary townhouses and apartments will be situated around a private residents’ garden, making the most of the public realm and waterside location, with fantastic views towards the city. The new homes are designed to a high specification, filled with natural light, making it ideal for the growing number of people working from home…yet it’s just a short walk or cycle to the bustling city centre of Manchester.”
Middlewood Locks is a joint venture between Scarborough International Properties, Hualing Group and Metro Holdings Limited.
Scarborough International Properties expects to start on this new phase in early 2021 with completion expected in late 2022.
