A57 Strategy
Urban Vision outlined draft ideas for options at the joint management /
project team meeting (19/01/07).
Pendleton
Area Action
Plan
Consultation on preferred options is deferred until May 2007, due to
feedback from GONW, the options being redrafted and the delay in the
PFI announcement.

Irwell are being marketed, based on a masterplan prepared on behalf of
the landowners. This excludes the Granada land within the Middlewood
area, for which a separate planning application has been received. It is
understood that the mix of uses proposed is commercial/office (on the
Manchester side, an extension of Spinningfields south) and residential
(including on the Salford side). There has been no formal consultation
with the City Council thus far.

Key Developments
The General Vesting Declaration for the 2 CPO’s on Bridson Street and
Nelson Street were both sealed on 17/11/06. It is expected that the
Council will have taken legal possession of any outstanding properties by
February 2007, enabling demolition to proceed.
The decision around the CPO of the Top Streets area is still expected to
be received in the early months of 2007.
Higher
Broughton
The new houses on Vincent Street for homeswap have now been
handed over and families have moved in. A positive press article recently
appeared in the MEN.
Work has started on site for the next affordable housing development of
52 units at Devonshire Square. The development agreement is now in
place. The units are expected to be ready for occupation in about 12
months.
Broughton Green - Around 30 properties are now occupied on the
Broughton Green site and around 80 houses have been completed. A
further 90 are under construction.
Parks For
People
Ordsall &
Langworthy
Six parks in Salford West have been identified, in the Parks for People
strategy, as requiring improvement works to bring the parks up to the
required standards by 2011:
- Cadished Park masterplan is to go before Cabinet for adoption in April
2007.
- Eccles Recreation Ground masterplan is to go before Cabinet for
adoption in April 2007.
- Parr Fold Park contractors on site. A revenue bid has been submitted to

their final report, which was presented to a briefing session of the
Seedley & Langworthy Partnership Board on 22/01/07 (it will be formally
presented to the Board on 05/03/07). A newsletter confirming the
outcomes of the consultation has been drafted by TPAS with input from
the Leader and the HMR team.
Whilst there is agreement within the community for the need to provide
greater choice of homes in the area, the scale of demolition emerging
from the consultation is considerably less than originally anticipated.
There is an overriding need for the council to demonstrate that it has
listened to the community whilst exploring ways of achieving a careful
balance between the needs to secure transformation and a more robust
redevelopment opportunity for the private sector and the need to retain
and invest in more existing homes.
The HMR team is currently examining the case to extend the scale of
demolition in the area from that put forward by the community through

Ordsall & Langworthy
Salford Central Station



Improvements to the station and approaches will provide a major transport interchange for
surrounding developments in Chapel Street and Manchester City Centre
Repair and restoration of the historic railway bridges was completed in November 2006.
The final Phase 1 design has been agreed and the various statutory approvals received. Phase 1
commenced on site on 04/12/06 and will be completed by September 2007.
Central Chapel Street

English Cities Fund (ECF) is developing a masterplan for the area as part of their evaluation of
development potential around the station. The masterplan will cover the area around the station,
extending West to Oldfield Road/Adelphi Street and North and South of Chapel street. ECF keen
that the masterplan be translated into informal planning guidance.
Manchester Bury and Bolton Canal


This project will restore the canal to navigation, instigating regeneration and development along its
length.
The final design is complete and British Waterways have issued tenders for the main engineering
works with a return date in Jan 2007. The start on site is delayed pending land acquisition from
Granada. All partners are now working to achieve the completion of the land agreement. Outputs
however are still at risk.
Ordsall Riverside

Ordsall Riverside area is facing significant development pressure, primarily for residential led high
density apartment schemes. This is at odds with both adopted planning policy and community
aspirations. In order to address these concerns the URC, working with the City Council, are
commissioning a masterplan to look at regeneration options for the Ordsall Riverside area. This
will include ongoing involvement of stakeholders in the area, including the community forum and
land owning stakeholders. Work on the masterplan should be complete by April 2007 and will form
the basis for the production of informal planning guidance for the area.
Crescent


Working with the City Council and other public sector / land owning stakeholders, the URC have
commissioned a masterplan to look at regeneration options for the Crescent area.
The masterplan will be complete by April 2007 and will also look at calming of the A6, at the
Crescent, potential for the creation of a new ‘University Square’ and restoration of the Manchester
Bolton Bury Canal through the area.
Greengate



The final Exchange Greengate Planning Guidance was adopted by Council on 17/01/07.
Three planning applications for Exchange Greengate were submitted in September 2006 – these
include two applications for mixed use development submitted by ASK and ASK/Network Rail and
an application for the primary public realm submitted by Central Salford. These applications are
currently being considered with a decision likely in March 2007.
An application for the public realm submitted to Manchester City Council has still to be registered.
It is anticipated that the application will be registered in February/ March and determined by April
2007.

Crescent Railway Station




Work has started with GMPTE, Network Rail, the University and Central Salford URC on options for
the future of Salford Crescent station. The station is currently working beyond its design capacity
and there are safety concerns at peak hours due to overcrowding of platforms.
The work will look at short term measures and longer term solutions (which could include relocation
of the station to a less constrained site.
Of more urgent concern is the introduction of new rolling stock by certain train operators – from
December 2006 and more significantly from May 2007. The net effect is that instead of 2 x 5 car
trains stopping per hour on one route, that will change to 1 x 3 car train per hour from December
2006. Further changes seem likely from May 2007.
This is a concern because it will result in fewer / smaller trains stopping at Salford Crescent (which
is already overcrowded). A mix of 3 and 6 car train sets will replace existing 5 car sets. Salford
Crescent Station can currently accept trains of up to 5 cars only. Lengthening platforms is not
possible without significant track relaying / signal changes, which cannot be implemented in the
immediate future.
Middlewood

Planning permission was granted in December 2006. The completion of 1st phase of the MBBC is
important for the delivery of Middlewood.
Pendleton

Enabling works for LIFT in progress ,October 2006.

 DCLG announced PFI 5th round placements on 21/12/06. Pendleton will share £200million with
North Tyneside. The exact figures are not yet known.
Proposed TESCO adjacent to Shopping City



A steering meeting between Tesco /Prime Commercial Properties and SCC/URC/GMPTE took
place on 17/01/07. Further monthly meetings are scheduled.
A response from Tesco/ Gubbay to the action plan is expected shortly. A planning application is
expected to be submitted in May 2007. Many items are still to be resolved, but good progress is
being made on a number of fronts. In addition to the steering group a development approach team
is to be established to drive resolution of practical issues.
The timescales for delivery of the foodstore are being hampered by the school site swap (LEA - RC
Diocese), with potential vacant possession of the foodstore site now likely to be summer 2010.
Options to see if this date can be brought forward are being looked at but the outlook is not positive.
A note for the Leader of Council and Lead Members is to be produced for definitive guidance.
Northern Housing Challenge Fund Proposal


Great Places and SCC submitted a proposal to the Northern Housing Challenge Fund on the

Lead Officer
Tim Jones, Housing and Planning Directorate
Over 200 hectares identified for reclamation in the Irwell Valley.
Site suffers from significant contamination from a wide range of past
industrial uses.
Summary
Focus of the programme will be to assess contamination, treat it
where possible and restore the land for soft-end and recreational after
uses.
Priorities and Milestones
Timescales
Identify and agree 3 year capital programme.
On approval
Current Coalfield funding to be complete.
March 2007
Progress
The Forestry Commission (FC) have commenced site management and
maintenance and significant improvements are already visible.
The FC are also securing the relevant permissions to deliver the first
stage of capital improvements with a value of almost £400k planned for
spend in this financial year.
The Forestry Commission approved a 99-year lease on Council land. It
was originally expected that they would enter in to a 20 year lease, as
Newlands funding secures management and maintenance funding for
20 years. However, the FC is prepared to enter in to the additional
period on an ‘at risk’ basis.
The Single Programme Proposal Form (SPPF) for £4.75 million has
been approved by the NWDA and up to £365,000 was released for
2006/07.
Coalfield Community Funding of £225k has been secured for the Clifton
area, directly linked to the Newlands work on the LIVIA site.
Groundwork Salford, Manchester and Trafford have taken lead
responsibility for the delivery of this programme on behalf of the
Council. Phase I of works at Queensmere Dam to support the work of
Swinton and Pendlebury Angling Club has been completed. Progress
