The planning committee will meet on Thursday (September 22)
A new Aldi, more than 700 homes and two office buildings could be given the go ahead next week when Manchester council's planning committee meets. A secondary school, a park and a community hub are also planned at the former Jackson's Brickworks site in Newton Heath where around two-thirds of the 716 homes, which are set to be built in two phases, would be affordable.
But councillors on the planning committee will have the final say next week. Aldi's application to demolish the Imperial Lounge restaurant in Victoria Avenue East to make way for a new store has been subject to 12 objections. A council report lists increased traffic congestion, noise and a new pedestrian crossing as concerns raised by residents in response to supermarket's plans. There was also an objection from a 'rival operator' which raised concerns about the loss of open space and the site layout, according to the report.
The former Jackson's Brickworks site is set to accommodate hundreds of houses and apartments of which more than two-thirds would be affordable. Your Housing Group, the housing association behind the plans, has confirmed that 67.5 pc of the homes would be affordable with a mix of shared ownership, affordable rent and social rent available as well as market rent and private sale.
