Mixed Use, Salford - Feasibility Study

Commissioned by one of the North West's leading house developers to establish housing density figures and gain Local Authority feedback, Randle White were asked to carry out a feasibility study for this mixed use development in Salford.

In order to meet the Local Authority Development Framework the site had to be carefully considered for the overall scheme to address policy issues. Particular importance was placed upon the retained employment of this Brownfield site.

The 4.5ha proposal included offices and industrial units supporting a new crèche and convenience store. The majority of the site is then given over to houses and apartments, with a mixture of detached, semi-detached, town houses and flats.

Located on the banks of the Bridgewater the development introduces the canal back into the scheme in the form of flooded and dry locks, which also provide both Public Open space and a separation between the commercial and residential elements of the site.
