The massive masterplan for a new neighbourhood in north Manchester is just one of the developments to be approved
More than 4,800 new homes are set to be built on the edge of Manchester city centre as a new masterplan for the area is approved. Plans for 3,250 properties at Red Bank have been granted planning permission in principle.
Manchester council's planning committee also approved applications to expand a sixth form in Hulme and build 50 affordable apartments for over-55s at a former leisure centre in Chorlton. Here are all of the developments that were given the go ahead at the town hall meeting on Thursday . Councillors on the planning committee raised questions about the amount of public space in the development and asked for more details about the new primary school and health centre which are planned. Town hall chiefs praised the public realm plans, but said that some other details are yet to be agreed.
1,551 homes at Dantzic Street Full planning permission for three plots of land in Victoria North's New Town neighbourhood was also approved by the committee. Just 5 pc of the 1,551 homes planned across seven buildings on this site off Dantzic Street, which is next to FEC's 634-home Victoria Riverside scheme, would be 'affordable'.
Loreto College expansion in Hulme Plans by Loreto College to demolish a former probation office to make way for a three-storey teaching block were also approved. The 'oversubscribed' sixth form is expanding to the south of its current college campus in Hulme amid a 'chronic shortage' of places for student aged 16 and over to study in the city.
50 homes at former Chorlton Leisure Centre The former Chorlton Leisure Centre has been empty since the leisure centre closed in 2015. Now, the 1920s Art Deco style building in Manchester Road is set to be demolished and replaced by two new five-storey residential blocks.
