Lampwick New Islington ANCOATS Lampwick New Islington ANCOATS NEW ISLINGTON NORTHERN QUARTER PICCADILLY BASIN Manchester Life sites highlighted with Lampwick picked out in pink 1. Lampwick site Introduction Manchester is the fastest growing UK City outside of London achieving 17% population growth between 2004 and 2014. Increasing Greater Manchester’s housing supply is critical to meeting the demands of the growing workforce and population. Indeed, it has been forecast that an additional 60,000 new homes are expected to be required by 2027. Stubbs Mill Chips Against this context, the aim of Manchester Life Development Company is to set a new benchmark for residential property development in Manchester that will drive the sympathetic redevelopment and refurbishment of Ancoats and New Islington into vibrant and sustainable neighbourhoods. The Manchester Life initiative combines the best of public and private sector expertise to develop high quality homes that will support the emergence of neighbourhoods of choice in east Manchester. Work has commenced on the first projects, which will deliver over 1,000 new homes for rent and sale. Manchester Life Development Company has assembled a high calibre project team with local experience to design and deliver the development of the Lampwick site. The proposals provide an The Dispensary Weavers Quay opportunity to deliver more homes for the City’s expanding population, enhancing the quality of life and support Manchester’s Residential Growth Strategy. The proposals have been designed to meet the pressing need for new homes within Manchester City Centre. The proposals are consistent with the approved Ancoats and New Islington Neighbourhood Development Framework, and will complement the wider regeneration initiatives already delivered in this area, in support of further planned investment and enhancements in New Islington.

Preface Preface The purpose of a Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) investigation is to improve railway safety by preventing future railway accidents or by mitigating their consequences. It is not the purpose of such an investigation to establish blame or liability. Accordingly, it is inappropriate that RAIB reports should be used to assign fault or blame, or determine liability, since neither the investigation nor the reporting process has been undertaken for that purpose. The RAIB’s findings are based on its own evaluation of the evidence that was available at the time of the investigation and are intended to explain what happened, and why, in a fair and unbiased manner.
