These land uses would be supported by the construction of a pedestrian footbridge over Trafford Boulevard; the provision of access roads, car parking, public realm and landscaping works and other associated development and supporting infrastructure. Details have been provided in relation to ‘access’, with all other matters reserved. The application site forms part of the Trafford Centre Rectangle (TCR) Strategic Location, which has been identified within the Core Strategy as an appropriate location for the delivery of a major-mixed use development that provides a new residential neighbourhood together with commercial, leisure and community facilities and substantial improvements to the public transport infrastructure. The application has been advertised as a departure from the Development Plan, on the basis that the quantum of residential development proposed far exceeds the 1,050 units identified by the Strategic Location Policy (SL4). The Local Planning Authority (LPA) has assessed the particular circumstances of this application against the Development Plan and other material considerations as set out in this report and having undergone the required balancing exercises, recommends approval of Outline planning permission, subject to the signing of a s106 agreement. The development would be ‘controlled’ by three key mechanisms: The development quantums; the Parameter Plans; and the Design Framework. These control documents define the ‘what’, the ‘where’, the ‘how much’ and the design language of the Trafford Waters (TW) development. Alongside these three control mechanisms, an Illustrative Masterplan scheme has been submitted. This is not submitted for approval as such, rather it demonstrates one way in which TW may come forwards in accordance with the parameters, specifications and guidelines within the control mechanisms. A primary school, of up to two-forms of entry in size (420 pupils), will be delivered within the application site in recognition of the existing pressures for primary school places in the Borough and that the closest Trafford schools are located over a mile away. This will be located within two adjacent sites: one to accommodate the various buildings, parking and playground space, for the sole use of the school; and the other to provide a playing pitch and Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) facilities that will also be made available for use by the wider TW community outside of school hours. The TW development will be supported by 8.0ha of publically accessible open space, as well as children/young person’s equipped play space and a small amount of outdoor sports facilities. Included within this provision will be a 9,100sqm area of informal recreation space, part of which will be shared with the adjacent primary school. iii Planning Committee - 13th October 2016 The Council’s NHS partners have identified a need for a health centre, within or close to, the application site, and the applicant has agreed to deliver this following a review of need in conjunction with Trafford’s Clinical Commissioning Group. The applicant has committed to achieving a BREEAM rating of ‘Very Good’ for all commercial development within the site and a ‘Home Quality Mark’ of 2* for the new dwellings. These measures are considered to be appropriate and achievable. The applicant has demonstrated that it would not be viable for the development to provide affordable housing based on present day values. There is however significant scope for the development to create its own market and achieve longer term growth in market values. In light of this the applicant has agreed to re-assess scheme viability each time that a Reserved Matters application is submitted for development. If an application generates a surplus, this would be used to provide affordable housing in subsequent phases, up to a maximum of 40% in any one phase. The development will result in less than substantial harm to the heritage assets that are located within, and in the vicinity of, the application site. This includes the Grade I listed All Saints Church and the Barton-upon-Irwell Conservation Area. Great weight has been given to the asset’s conservation and special regard / special attention paid to the asset and its setting in accordance with the relevant parts of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (as amended). However the public benefits of the scheme, including some heritage-related benefits, will significantly outweigh these effects. Any non-designated archaeological remains that are uncovered during the development earthworks are likely to be destroyed, however it is considered that their loss can be sufficiently mitigated through a programme of targeted trenching and recording and subsequent publication. The LHA has considered the overall development of the site with the associated infrastructure in place and the phasing plan. Taking all the information provided into consideration the LHA concludes that the proposed development would not have a “severe impact” on the surrounding highway network, as defined in Paragraph 32 of the NPPF, provided that the proposed mitigation is implemented at an appropriate time during the phased development of the site and the recommended planning conditions relating to transport are attached to any approval. Notwithstanding this, it is considered that the applicant has not adequately evidenced their strategy for the phased delivery of development at TW. Further discussions will be required in a post-committee / pre-decision environment to reach an agreed position on the details contained within the applicant’s phasing schedule The approach outlined for the provision of car parking associated with the various land uses within TW is considered to be challenging but acceptable in principle with a robust Travel Plan and providing that the necessary enhancements to public transport are secured. With respect to air quality and potential impact on

  • Guide for Mobile Street Traders
    A GUIDE FOR MOBILE STREET TRADERS INTRODUCTION This guide has been prepared by the Greater Manchester Food Liaison Group. The guide is intended to provide information to mobile traders selling hot food, burgers, ice cream etc. on standards of food hygiene and safety. It is not a legal document. Less strict standards will apply to low risk operations such as the sale of fruit and vegetables or pre-packed groceries. Compliance with the guide, or suitable alternative methods approved by your Environmental Health Officer, will be expected of any mobile food traders applying for a Street Trading Consent or Licence from Trafford MBC. Street Trading Consent or Licence Under the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 the Council operates a street trading consent scheme and also has a number of licensed street trading pitches Before trading you must obtain the appropriate consent or licence. Further information, application forms and details of current fees can be obtained from: Licensing Team, Trafford Town Hall, Talbot Road, Stretford, Manchester, M32 0TH. Telephone: 0161 912 4339 Fax: 0161 912 1113 Email: [email protected] Street trading is prohibited in some areas of the Borough and any person contravening this requirement may be prosecuted. The current list of Prohibited Streets is attached in the Appendix to this guide, but please check this information with the Licensing Team. Before a street trading consent is issued to a NEW trader they will be required to present their trailer to the Environmental Health Team for a food hygiene and/or a health and safety inspection. It is important to seek as much business advice as possible before making any final commitment to go into business.

Demographics & Acorn Data 8 5. The Approach to the Campaign 10 6. Results 19 7. Conclusion 26 8. Key Learning Points 27 1 Section 1: Executive Summary 1. Introduction 1.1 As part of the EU LIFE+ project Greater Manchester Waste Disposal Authority (GMWDA) has carried out a 42 different communications campaigns across nine Districts within Greater Manchester (Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside and Trafford). Each campaign has had slightly different focus, targeting sections of the community that have traditionally been hard to reach, making the success of recycling schemes in these areas particularly challenging. This project enabled GMWDA to target smaller groups, generally around 1500 households, with much focused recycling messages. This allowed a variety of communication methods and messages to be piloted and the impact of each to be monitored. The project started in June 2013 and ran until January 2015 across nine Greater Manchester Districts. The project is split into 12 campaigns covering one of the four following themes: a) Households – focused on communities in disadvantaged areas; b) Students and Short lets – focused on those areas with a high level of rental properties or student rental accommodation; c) Faith and Culture – focused on those areas with a strong religious or cultural background; and d) Apartments – focused on those areas with a high level of low rise or high rise apartments. 1.2 The culture communication campaign reported on in this case study was carried out in the Patricroft area of Eccles It targeted 1301 households and was initiated to explore whether religious beliefs, core attitudes and the way of life promoted by particular faiths can influence communities waste prevention and recycling behaviour.

  • From Developer Regeneration to Civic Futures
    From Developer Regeneration to Civic Futures A new politics for foundational service provision in Greater Manchester Julie Froud, Mike Hodson*, Andy McMeekin, Anne Stafford, Pam Stapleton, Hua Wei, Karel Williams September 2018 Alliance Manchester Business School University of Manchester * Corresponding author: [email protected] 1 Contents The argument in summary p.3 1. Urban planning and its eclipse by developer regeneration p.9 2. The experiment in developer regeneration from the 1990s p.14 onwards and its consequences 3. Developer regeneration systematised: the Greater p.22 Manchester Spatial Framework and transport planning Systematising developer regeneration Transport and developer regeneration Limits to developer regeneration 4. What is to be done? Civic futures p.29 Greater Manchester is re-awakening Rethinking what and who Greater Manchester is for Civic futures 2 The argument in summary This report is about how Greater Manchester’s1 housing and transport has been re-made by developer regeneration over the last 30 years, how that approach is failing, and how it can be re- made to support civic priorities over the next three decades. The core argument is that, since the late 1980s, developer regeneration has been the dominant Greater Manchester (GM) approach to the future of both housing and transport. The central idea being that property-led urban regeneration can fix the problems of de-industrialisation and deliver growth and jobs for higher market incomes. This approach has neglected the provision of foundational services (like decent housing and transport) and social infrastructure necessary to civilised life for all GM citizens. Our constructive aim in this report is to think critically about the limits of this approach to the future of Greater Manchester and to contribute to alternative thinking about new forms of political organisation and new economic priorities which could start to shape the future of the city-region as a diverse, civilized place aimed at citizen well-being: a new civic future for Greater Manchester.
