Our A-Z of Planning series was created as a result of feedback received from our key clients and partners. We identified a general need in the market for an all-encompassing, easy-to-read and accessible document, covering key planning information. Following the successful launch of our A-Z of London Planning, analysing the 33 London boroughs back in September 2018, we have now widened our analysis to focus on Greater Manchester. Work is also under way to produce similar documents for Birmingham and Leeds. Using data taken from government departments, the combined authority and multiple other sources, as well as local insights from our team of in-house specialists, this Greater Manchester directory has been designed as a visual overview of the demographic, socioeconomic and planning traits defining each of the ten boroughs, and the combined authority area as a whole. The document covers topics such as housing delivery, planning performance, population change and planning policy – all of which can be benchmarked against other UK cities. Since statistics are continually changing, this guide represents a snapshot of policies and statistics in time, rather than a definitive record. We have used indicators and data that we feel most accurately represent each of the boroughs. Our methodology and sources are explained in the Sources chapter (page 48). We plan to update and reissue this guide annually. The information within this report was collated and produced prior to the COVID 19 pandemic, therefore may not fully depict today’s housing and economic data, but does provide a baseline for the pre-COVID 19 situation. 2 The importance of Greater Manchester and the North West Greater Manchester generates nearly 40% of GVA for Green Belt release as part of a balanced approach in the North West – a substantial anchor to the to meeting the conurbation’s spatial needs, the GMSF Northern Powerhouse – with economic drivers seeks to address the north/south divide in the wider including the regional centre of Manchester, urban area, build on economic drivers and establish Manchester Airport, and Trafford Park.

    PRESS RELEASE LGIM Real Assets Press Release 20th August 2018 LGIM Real Assets One Coleman Street London EC2R 5AA Tel: +44 (0)20 3124 2700 LEGAL & GENERAL REDESIGNS AND ACQUIRES NEW MANCHESTER TOWER FOR GROWING BUILD TO RENT PORTFOLIO Legal & General today announces that it has exchanged contracts on the West Tower in Manchester’s premier development, Deansgate Square, as it continues to scale up its Build To Rent (BTR) portfolio. Working closely with renowned architect SimpsonHaugh, designer of some of Manchester’s major landmarks such as Beetham Tower and Two St Peter’s Square, Legal & General has made a range of significant BTR design improvements to the tower, in order to meet the specific requirements of today’s elective renters. The West Tower will be the tallest BTR scheme in the UK. This latest acquisition brings Legal & General’s development pipeline in Manchester to over 750 units, increasing its exposure to a target city with strong momentum, underpinned by a significant demand for rental accommodation. Whilst Manchester has seen increased investment over recent years, the city’s housing needs remain under-served. According to Experian, the population of Greater Manchester is expected to grow by 14% over the next 20 years with 3,465 rental households forming every year. Despite an estimated 12,000 new homes required each year to meet demand, annual delivery since 2010 has averaged just 650 homes. Deansgate’s West Tower is located in Manchester’s prime residential area of Castlefield, comprising 44 storeys overlooking the River Medlock. It consists of 350 units, 147 car parking spaces and ancillary commercial space.

    Application Number Date of Appln Committee Date Ward 129273/FO/2021 9th Mar 2021 29th Jul 2021 Deansgate Ward Proposal Demolition of existing structures and the construction of two residential buildings of 56 storeys (plus basement and roof plant) (use class C3), with ground floor commercial uses (use class E), car parking, cycle provision, landscaping, access and other associated works Location 34 Great Jackson Street, Manchester, M15 4NG Applicant Great Jackson Street Estates, 66 Waterpark Road, Salford, M7 4JL Agent Hodder + Partners, SGI Studios, 1 Kelso Place, Manchester, M15 4LE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The proposal is for 1037 residential units in two 56 storey towers. There would be public and private amenity space, 236 parking spaces, 1040 internal cycle spaces and 40 visitor cycle spaces. There have been 12 representations, 11 of which object to the proposal. Key Issues Principle of use and contribution to regeneration: The development is in accordance with national and local planning policies and the scheme would provide much needed housing in a highly sustainable location. Viability & Affordable Housing: A commuted sum of £1,037,000 would be secured via a S106 agreement for off-site affordable housing. Height, Scale, Massing and Design: The heights, scale and massing of the buildings would be in keeping with the scale of development in Great Jackson Street. The buildings would make a positive contribution to the street scene on this gateway route. Residential Amenity: The development would have an impact on the amenities of existing residents particularly in terms of loss daylight. However, the impacts are considered to be acceptable in a City Centre context and not so harmful as to warrant refusal of the application.
