Manchester City Council Item 5 Executive 29 October 2014 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Over the last fifteen to twenty years the City Council has worked in conjunction with national and regional government agencies, local businesses and community stakeholders and a variety of developer partners to develop and deliver comprehensive regeneration strategies in the Ancoats and New Islington neighbourhoods. For the majority of this period, strategic oversight for this regeneration process rested with New East Manchester (NEM), the Urban Regeneration Company established by the City Council, the North West Development Agency (NWDA) and English Partnerships – now known as the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA). 1.2 The most recent update of the East Manchester Strategic Regeneration Framework (SRF) in 2008, set out clear Neighbourhood Development Frameworks for both Ancoats and New Islington to help guide future development activity. 1.3 However, the global financial crisis that was beginning just as this Framework was completed led to a significant downturn in development activity and also severe reductions in public sector funding, leading to the disestablishment of NEM and the closure of the NWDA and responsibility for overseeing development activity passed to the City Council and the Homes and Communities Agency. 1.4 Over the past 12 – 18 months there have been encouraging signs that the development market in these two neighbourhoods is starting to return, with renewed developer interest and progress underway on new developments and previously stalled sites. However, overall economic conditions are very different to what they were in 2008 and this, linked to the re-organisation of roles and responsibilities within the key public sector agencies, means that it is now an opportune moment to update and refresh the Neighbourhood Development Framework for the two neighbourhoods. 1.5 A draft Neighbourhood development Framework was reported to the Executive Committee in April 2014, which highlighted the future vision, objectives and a set of Core Development Principles, to form the basis on which public consultation would be undertaken. This report therefore presents a Final Draft Neighbourhood Development Framework for Ancoats and New Islington following a 1 month public consultation process held with residents, businesses, public services and voluntary & community sector stakeholders. 2.0 Background 2.1 Ancoats and New Islington are two distinctive neighbourhoods that sit immediately adjacent to the Regional Centre, on the north eastern City Centre Fringe. 2.2 Ancoats can be defined as an area bounded by Oldham Road to the north, Butler Street to the north east, Great Ancoats Street to the west, the Rochdale Canal to the South and Rodney Street to the east. Manchester City Council Item 5 Executive 29 October 2014 2.3 New Islington covers and area between the Rochdale and Ashton Canals with Great Ancoats Street to the west extending over to Pollard Street to the east and Beswick Street to the north. 2.4 Both neighbourhoods were originally developed as a result of the industrial revolution, with Ancoats being labelled as the word’s first industrial suburb, containing a large number of key heritage assets and listed buildings that lead to Conservation Area status being granted in 1989. In contrast, the New Islington area developed as a more organic collection of terraced workers’ housing, warehouses and relatively modestly scaled mills. 2.5 The economic fortunes of both neighbourhoods significantly declined during the 20th century, with significant employment and population decline. However, over the past 20 years the City Council has worked with a number of national and regional government agencies; and in partnership with private and community sectors to develop and implement strategies, programmes and projects to stabilise and reverse economic and physical decline, and up until the financial crisis of 2008 very positive progress was being made. 2.6 However, the economic downturn has meant that private sector development in both neighbourhoods slowed significantly between 2009 – 2013. However, over the past 12 months the economic situation has shown signs of improvement – evidenced by residential schemes at Sarah Point, Bengal Mill and Royal Mills in Ancoats recommencing and The Point in New Islington starting on site. In total these schemes are bringing c550 residential units to market. 2.7 More significantly, in June 2014 the Council Executive approved the establishment of a joint venture company between the City Council and the Abu Dabi United Group (ADUG) - Manchester Life – to deliver new housing development to support the City's growth strategy and specifically residential markets in the eastern fringe of the city. The first phase of the initiative will see the development of 6 sites within the Ancoats and New Islington neighbourhoods, which are expected to deliver around 830 new dwellings and up to 6,000 units over the next 10 years. 2.8 On this basis, with the market recovering and with a committed investor, ensuring the area makes a positive contribution, it is timely to review and update the existing development frameworks for the area to ensure that the opportunities for residential and commercial investment are maximised and that development is brought forward in an appropriate manner. 3.0 Public consultation approach 3.1 In April 2014, the Executive Committee endorsed a draft Ancoats and New Islington Neighbourhood Development Framework for public consultation to be undertaken in Summer 2014. 3.2 The consultation process ran from 23 June

  • Miles Platting, Newton Heath, Moston & City Centre Neighbourhood
    Miles Platting, Newton Heath, Moston & City Centre Neighbourhood Health & Social Care Profile Miles Platting, Newton Heath, Moston & City Centre - Health & Social Care Cohort Profile December 2019 Page 1 Introduction to MHCC Neighbourhood & Cohort Profile Reports The Locality Plan developed by Health & Social Care commissioners in Manchester sets an ambition that those sections of the population most at risk of needing care will have access to more proactive care, available in their local communities. The key transformation is the establishment of 12 Integrated Neighbourhood Teams across the City based on geographical area as opposed to organisation. The teams focus on the place and people that they serve, centred around the ethos that ‘The best bed is your own bed’ wherever possible and care should be closer to home rather than delivered within a hospital or care home. The ambition of this model is to place primary care (GP) services at the heart of an integrated neighbourhood model of care in which they are co-located with community teams. These teams could include Community Pharmacists, Allied Health Professionals (AHPs), Community Nursing, Social Care Officers, Intermediate Care teams, Leisure and health promotion teams, Ambulance teams and 3rd sector teams, with a link to educational and employment teams. All services are based upon a 12/3/1 model of provision, where most services should be delivered at the neighbourhood* level (12) unless they require economies of scale at a specialist local level (3), or a single City-wide level

  • Astley Arms/Paganini Tavern, 78 Great Ancoats Street 36-40 Dean
    An Archaeological Excavation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd in April 2016 at Nos 74-88 Great Ancoats Street. The work was completed in advance of the redevelopment of the site, under the auspices of the Greater Manchester Archaeological Advisory Service. The excavation trench was located in the southern part of the site on the corner of Dean Street and Houldsworth Street, where a series of late 18th- and early 19th- century brick cellars and a paved courtyard were revealed. Until the 1770s Ancoats was a rural area to the east of Manchester, but during the last quarter of the 18th century it became the town’s first industrial suburb with the construction of cotton factories, weavers and other workers cottages. The population of Manchester grew dramatically from 76,000 in 1801 to 316,000 in 1851 with more people being crammed into Late 19th and early 20th-century glass bottles embossed with the names of Greater smaller and smaller houses.
