Green light to next stage of 477 energy efficient and affordable homes in Salford

The green light has been given to the next stage of developing 477 new energy efficient and affordable homes in Salford. 

Salford City Council’s Property and Regeneration meeting on Monday 9 December gave approval to the sale of land in Pendleton to Lovell Together LLP under a long-term partnership. 

The 477 new energy efficient family homes will include 142 affordable homes and four wheelchair accessible units alongside major improvements to the surrounding area.

The 142 new affordable homes will include 86 for social rent alongside new home ownership opportunities that will help improve the choice, variety, and quality of homes in Pendleton to meet the housing needs of residents in the area.

Councillor Tracy Kelly, Deputy City Mayor and Lead Member for Housing and Anti-Poverty at Salford City Council said: “The approval of this next stage towards affordable homes and attractive public space is fantastic news for local people.”

“This all fits in with our plan to provide the affordable and social homes which local people need and deserve. The proposed mix also builds family homes in an area dominated by apartments.” 

Improvements to Clarendon Park are also at the heart of the proposals and aim to create a series of tranquil spaces with retained trees alongside an extensive new tree and shrub planting, wildflower grassland and seasonal bulb planting to attract pollinator species. 

The landscape proposals create a strong green infrastructure network with new landscape corridors connecting the park with the rest of the neighbourhood and with a connected network of cycle and pedestrian routes, well landscaped streets including street trees hedgerows and structural planting. 

Allotments are provided for a healthier lifestyle and building communities as well as providing for local wildlife.
