does anyone know anything more about the proposed builds on the site that is now a car park between the railway, trinity way and chapel street? i remember seeing something a couple of years ago saying planning permission had been obtained for a new development of flats.

you'll have to be a bit more specific than that!

thats all ive got sadly. i remember getting the letter just before the crash saying planning permission had been sought and just after saying it had been granted. i dont know whether it was part of the central salford redevelopments that the council are plugging or not. was for a mixed use development covering the site of the two adjacent car parks next to trinity way at its border with chapel street.

then that is zone D of the larger masterplan application (the hybrid planning application (detailed and outline) for the proposed regeneration and redevelopment of Salford Central) that was granted earlier this year

The appeal was dismissed last month, little summary,

The inspector considered that the main issue was the effect of the proposal on the street scene and the setting of neighbouring listed buildings.

The inspector acknowledged that a suitable infill development would bring a welcome enhancement to the street scene and that the proposed uses were acceptable. He considered though that the scale of the building was dictated by its domestic floor to ceiling heights and that the recessed ground floor would appear squat adjacent to the Kings Arms.

The Inspector considered that the building would be considerably taller than its immediate neighbours and that the design did not disguise the buildings mass as a six storey development. He considered that the strongly horizontal glazed element of the upper floors conflicted with the vertical proportions of the remainder of the façade and that the building would appear top-heavy. He agreed with the City Council’s point made in the appeal statement that the metal-clad flank walls of the upper floors would tend to overdominate.

The Inspector considered that the height of the proposed building would challenge the visual dominance of the Model Lodging House. He did not agree that the building should be set back from the edge of pavement allowing the Kings Arms to be readily seen, his view was that this served only to expose part of the blank gable of the building.

With regard to materials the Inspector considered that zinc cladding and matching brickwork was appropriate but that the relative amount of each material was critical. Adding further to the palette of materials was not appropriate.

Taken overall, the Inspector concluded that the design did not provide an adequate response to the sensitive context and that it would have an unsatisfactory relationship with the Kings arms and with the Model lodging House and would not make a positive contribution to the setting of these buildings as required by national planning policy or by UDP policies DES1, ST15 and CH2.

The inspector considered that the effect on neighbours was minor and not a reason for refusal.

The appeal was dismissed

I think it simply depends on whether the regeneration companies involved can find the money. I don't really know.

Anyway here's a poetic little scheme in Langworthy -

10/59083/FUL

Alder Street
Salford
M6 5ND

Erection of 16 dwelling houses with associated car parking and landscaping

Good to see new stuff from MBLA

This looks quite interesting, CPO info, for a Planning LMB meeting next Tuesday,

http://services.salford.gov.uk/solar...637&MGP_ID=115

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On 3rd September 2008 the Lead Member for Planning approved, in principle, the use of the Council’s compulsory purchase powers to assemble land for the Salford Central regeneration project.

Further to this decision the acquisition of land and property interests has been progressed, where possible, by agreement and the redevelopment proposals themselves have now been granted outline planning consent.

In order to be able to progress the redevelopment proposals it will be necessary to ensure that title and possession of all the land and property required for delivery of the scheme can be obtained and it is now considered appropriate to further support the regeneration by the making of a planning compulsory purchase order.

Negotiations to acquire by agreement will continue in parallel with the compulsory purchase process.

2.3 The Council and ECf between them already own nearly 50% of the Order Land and negotiations with the remaining owners will continue with a view to achieving the voluntary acquisition of all the interests in the Order Land which are needed to facilitate the development.

looks to also be some discussion at Cabinet, behind closed doors, on Chapel St funding,

The regeneration of this area is long overdue. its meant to be salford city centre, but there is nothing there but a long line of burnt out pubs.

Salford Good Design Awards

Applications are now being accepted for the Salford Good Design Awards.

The deadline is 4.30pm on Friday 17 September 2010.

The council's dedication to design remains at the forefront of the city's agenda with the launch of the council's own Good Design Awards. We are seeking to reward the most innovative development schemes and striking restoration projects. Successful schemes will be honoured at an awards ceremony at Salford Quays in November.

The council's commitment to quality in the design of the built environment was established in 2008 with the launch of its highly acclaimed design guide, "Shaping Salford", which was welcomed by government design watchdog CABE and supported by renowned designer Wayne Hemingway.

Today, the sought-after quality and distinctiveness of place are widely visible in the city's buildings and public spaces. Everyday life has been enriched, aspirations raised and new standards set. The tangible improvements in the cityscape have prompted the council to seek to reward those who have spurred on the revitalisation of the city.

The Design Awards seek to recognise and reward design achievement in a range of forms. Including awarding residential, commercial and public sector buildings as well as public realm and public art schemes, masterplanning, and conservation.

The conservation award is of special significance as it commemorates Salford's Conservation Officer Joe Martin, a well known and much respected champion of Salford's built heritage. To continue his work, the award will go to a project which is centred on the sensitive treatment of Salford's built heritage.

Further information is available for applicants, including details of eligibility, judging criteria and supporting evidence.

Ceremony to be held in telephone box?

Resisting the temptation to be churlish, this is good to see.

The development on the corner of Greengate and Blackfriar's Road (Delta Point?) is coming on at quite a lick. Are there any decent plans/artists impressions? The only ones I saw were very small and (I think) out of date...

this is probably the best you'll find,

Thanks for that. You're right, it ain't pretty, and soon it will block my view of the city. A friend of mine asked one of the builders how tall it would be and he said 7 storeys but it mentions 10...

I'm in Riverbank Tower and it will almost completely block my view of Spinningfields and the Beetham. At least the wasteland it's replacing has gone...
