It's going. All the bridges making up the tunnel are being removed except the final two at the Salford end which still carry trains.

Correct.

The nearest few carried the Manchester Exchange Station frontage, which despite many efforts to re-open the station is likely to remain shut and it will be swept away all the way back to the northern edge of the main car park. That will leave the old island and a double track formation south of it, but I doubt much railway use will be made of it.

I think the building on the left may be going too. That leaves the wall on the right which is having the red gate taken out and replaced with glass frontage for a shop

For shame! The replacement on the render looks lumpen in comparison

Some pictures of the exchange station which used to stand here until the 60s.

I like it more now you can see the communal gardens and that they're family homes. Hope they've got some protection in place to prevent them being converted to HMO by cynical landlords though.

Simple - sell them as leasehold only and put a clause in the lease that they must be owner occupied and not let out, with the penalty of forfeitof the lease if they do. St Johns Gardens just of Deangate has the same clause.

Ask submits plans for Greengate scheme

20th April 2011

By James Graham - Business Correspondent

ASK Developments has submitted plans for the new scheme at Greengate close to Manchester Cathedral.

Ask has been working with Salford City Council on the project which will see the 13-hectare site around the former Exchange railway station turned into offices, housing and shops.

Together with Network Rail it has submitted a full planning application for a 10-storey office block and outline permisson for a nine-storey block. There is also space for parking and shops, bars and cafes.

The development also requires listed building consent for the partial demolition of a railway viaduct.

Planners in Salford see Greengate as a vital part of Salford's regeneration as it acts as a key link between the two cities.

Overall redevelopment plans for the brownfield site include £400m-£450m worth of office, hotel and potential residential development.

Apologies if this has already been posted. Clicking on the link/render brings up a error mesage ATM.

The office block cladding colour looks similar to that of MEN Arena, Manchester Cathedral, etc.

That's the render Estates Gazette have used,

Application is online, but docs still aren't up. Give the planning office a call at SCC a call. His or her name is on the planning app.(I think)

nq · Apr 21, 2011

Docs seem to be going on now.

Architects look to be the same as the previous design, BFLS,

Think I prefer the white one, look more like a mini Elizabeth House replacement rather than something from a 1980's business park in Milton Keynes.

nq · Apr 21, 2011

A bit of facade detail,

jrb · Apr 21, 2011

NQ is correct. (sadly) Docs are now up. Click on the link that I posted further back.

Milton Keynes office blocks comes to Greengate/Manchester City Centre. CRAP! Will SCC ever get it right?

Not really Greengate news, post from RL's blog about the pedestrianisation of Victoria Street, & being cryptic about another scheme(2CC?),

The 1997 post-bomb master plan identified the pedestrianisation of Victoria Street as a key project. There were a lot of other things that needed to be done before this could be achieved, but they are now all pretty much in place which should allow the pedestrianisation, initially on a trial basis, to begin later this year. Even then there will still be one major scheme from that master plan to be delivered and we are working on it !

Medieval Quarter thread? :shifty:

Slow Burn · Jul 30, 2011

He's previously referred to the Renaissance redevelopment as the final part of the post-bomb masterplan so could be that. Although I'd say given the size of that project and making it financially viable in the current climate could be years away still.
