The latest plans for the redevelopment of Salford have been revealed
The English Cities Fund plan to build 185 1- and 2-bedroom apartments on the western portion of the Farmer Norton car park on Cleminson Street
The Farmer Norton Phase 2 follows plans being submitted for the first phase earlier this year, which propose 42 three-bedroom homes for the remaining part of the site.
The Farmer Norton community is part of Adelphi Village, which will provide more than 800 homes as the residential aspect of the transformational Crescent Salford masterplan
The plans also include accessible homes, disabled parking spaces and flexible, mixed-use ground-floor space. Designed by dRMM Architects, the homes reflect Salford’s rich industrial history, taking inspiration from the Adelphi Iron Works, which occupied the site until the mid-20th century.
Lawrence Myatt, senior project manager at ECF, said:
By making better use of this underutilised brownfield site, we’re making an important contribution to local housing needs. At Adelphi Village, we’re creating a new neighbourhood that will deliver environmentally friendly homes that contribute to Salford’s sustainable future. Farmer Norton is a key part of this, and across the two phases, we’ll provide high-quality houses and apartments which cater to diverse communities and are inspired by and in keeping with Salford’s industrial past, building on this to create a brighter future for the city. ”
