Salford Core Strategy
Eccles Political Executive Briefing
14 November 2008
What is the Core Strategy?
•
Strategic and very broad ranging city wide planning document
•
Makes the difficult decisions - decides the scale, location and type of new
development needed
•
Identifies key infrastructure needed to support new development
•
Won’t allocate sites for development, except for strategic sites
•
Core Strategy will form part of the council’s Local Development
Framework, and along with other documents will replace the Unitary
Development Plan
What will be in the core strategy?
•
Spatial vision
– What do we want Salford to be like in 2027?
– Based on the Community Plan vision
– Not a blank canvas
•
Strategic objectives
– These are the headline targets
–
e.g. to secure 90% of dwellings on previously developed land
•
Planning policies
– To deliver the vision
– to be used in determining planning applications
What are we consulting on?
•
Issues and Options Report proposes
4 different strategic options
•
Must consider all realistic and
reasonable options
•
The decisions made on the location
of new housing impacts significantly
on the rest of the strategy
•
Consultation: 17th October until 12th
December 2008
The 4 options
•
Option 1 = Where we are heading, focus high density development in
the regional centre
•
Option 2 = Moderate change in approach, slightly less development in
Regional Centre
•
Option 3 = Maximising opportunities across the city, less development
to the Regional Centre, more in Salford West
•
Option 4 = Major greenfield release, significantly higher level of
development in Salford West
Key issues for Eccles: Housing
•
Between 1,200 (option 1) and 2,350 (option 4) dwellings planned
•
Proposed redevelopment of employment areas at Great Universal Stores,
Legh Street, and Peel Green - part only (all options)
•
Higher level of housing in Eccles will result in potential redevelopment of
Nasmyth, Carlton Works, Cawdor Street and Chadwick Road (options 2, 3
and 4) and Vine Street (options 1, 3, and 4)
•
Directing more housing to Salford West will deliver more family homes and
will place greater affordable housing requirements on developers
Key issues for Eccles: Area of Major
Change
•
All options identify Liverpool Road Corridor in as an Area of Major Change
•
Reflects Liverpool Road Corridor Strategy & Salford West Framework
•
Areas of major change will:
- be subject to masterplanning and planning applications and
must form part a of co-ordinated approach to regeneration
- need to be supported by relevant infrastructure
•
Core Strategy will support coordinated enhancement of the corridor with
residential-led mixed use development around Bridgewater Canal and
improvement of local shops, facilities and the environment
Key issues for Eccles: District and
Local Centres
•
Core Strategy supports and encourages redevelopment of existing mall in
Eccles, reflecting Salford West Regeneration Framework
•
Continue focus on comparison goods, particularly bulky goods retailing at
West One (out-of-centre location in context of national planning guidance)
•
Encourage enhancement of Eccles as an office location
•
Carry forward local centres in UDP: Monton, Patricroft, Peel Green
•
Proposed new local centre on Liverpool Road, east of Bridgewater Canal,
as part of comprehensive redevelopment of Legh Street, Cawdor Street
and Vine Street employment areas (options 3 and 4 only)
Key issues for Eccles: Infrastructure
•
Extension of the Eccles Metrolink line along Liverpool Road in options 3
and 4, through the Barton Strategic Regional Site and across the ship
canal, to link with the proposed Trafford Centre line
•
Options 1 and 2 propose rapid bus transit along the same route
•
Options 3 and 4 propose an above ground level bypass off Junction 12 on
the western side of the M60
•
Investigate use of former looplines for rapid bus transit in options 1-3, this
would be a requirement in option 4.
•
All options support improvements to interchange facilities between Eccles
Station, Eccles Metrolink stop and the bus station
Key issues for Eccles: adjacent
proposals at Barton
•
Multi-modal freight interchange on 50 hectares of land at the existing
Strategic Regional Site (all options)
•
Additional 40 hectares of employment development on the adjacent Green
Belt west of City Airport for logistics (options 3&4)
