  • Report of the Strategic Director Place to the Growth & Prosperity Scrutiny Panel 22Nd October 2018 for Briefing Title
    PART 1 – OPEN TO THE PUBLIC REPORT OF THE STRATEGIC DIRECTOR PLACE TO THE GROWTH & PROSPERITY SCRUTINY PANEL 22ND OCTOBER 2018 FOR BRIEFING TITLE: SUMMARY UPDATE ON DEVELOPMENT ACROSS CITY CENTRE SALFORD – AUTUMN 2018 RECOMMENDATION: 1. That the Panel note the contents of this report and the progress made to deliver the growth and development strategy for the City. DETAILS: 1.0 Background This report provides a snapshot update on the strategic development activity across the urban part of the city centre referred to here as City Centre Salford and also comments on the expanding edge to this. Significant development activity and investment plans are also underway in other parts of Salford, in particular at Salford Quays and MediaCityUK, the Western Gateway including Port Salford and some town centres. This update relates to specific and current development planned or on site across just the urban “City Centre” geography – as defined in the appendix 1 map. The regeneration context for the city is informed by a series of economic demand studies, existing development frameworks, emerging guides for new public investment and purely private sector investment across numerous sectors. 1 Development is driven by economic growth and creates the city’s measurable outcomes associated with new employment, new homes, office and retail floor space and consequent growth in business rates and council tax. This work is not just about dry data but also place-making, intervention in the market to curate the right balance of uses, neighbourhood activities, sustainable infrastructure and open spaces to breathe and play. Our development work deals with current investment underway now on site as well as looking to the future beyond 5 and 10 years.

  • Additional Sites Assessed for Development – October 2016 CW008 - Duncan Mathieson Playing Fields and Adjoining Land
    Additional sites assessed for development – October 2016 CW008 - Duncan Mathieson Playing Fields and adjoining land Salford Local Plan (Suggested Sites) - Site Assessment Form Reference CW008 number Site name Duncan Mathieson Playing Fields and adjoining land Site Playing fields bounded by Sunningdale Drive to the north, Lancaster Road to the address east, Oxford Road to the south and Hereford Road to the west. Ward name Claremont Neighbourhood Claremont and Weaste area Uses under Housing, and recreation consideration Summary of The site comprises playing fields which are largely disused. The majority of key issues pitches on the site have been disused for a significant number of years due to the need for investment to address poor ground conditions, and it is understood that only one pitch is currently in use. The site lies within an established residential area and is bounded by housing on all sides. It occupies a sustainable location for new housing development with good access to a range of local services and facilities. The key issue is whether the benefits of development outweigh the loss of a recreation site, and whether suitable replacement provision can be made. Given that the playing fields have fallen into disuse partly due to the prohibitive cost of addressing the poor ground conditions, it may be that some form of enabling development would be required on part of the site to support qualitative recreation improvements on the remainder. CW008 - Duncan Mathieson Playing Fields and adjoining land OS grid Easting: 378,530 Site size 11.65 reference Northing: 400,142 (hectares) Uses under Housing, and recreation consideration Scale of 132 houses (assuming that 3.78 hectares of the site is developed for housing at a development / density of 35 dwellings per hectare, and that the rest of the site remains in number of recreation use).
