Manchester’s Marble Arch pub, home of Marble Brewery and a Grade II-listed gem
which faced the threat of a proposed 17-storey development next door has had a reprieve
The proposed development from the McGoff Group will now be built further away with a a 13-metre gap opened up between the pub and McGoff’s development.
An area of public realm will be created in this space and the proposal will now include 153 apartments
A spokesperson for The McGoff Group told Place North West that
“Following our last consultation we reviewed all feedback and have addressed the two main issues; proximity to the pub and lack of green space.
“The revised plans see the new, proposed development moving significantly further away from the pub and the introduction of green space, which is rare with a city centre development. The concerns of the pub and a couple of local residents have been taken into consideration and hopefully the revised plans will be well received following the latest consultation.”
If planning permission is granted, work will begin on site in Spring 2027. Once underway, homes will hopefully be ready for occupation by late 2029.
