A 14-storey block, hundreds of student beds and affordable homes: The big Manchester plans heard this week
07.07.2023 - 05:29 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Controversial plans for an office block in Manchester city centre and student accommodation off Oxford Road have not got the green light. But almost 100 new homes were approved by the planning committee on Thursday (July 6).
Councillors gave the go ahead for affordable housing to be built in Openshaw as well as allowing a former nursery, probation offices and community centre in Victoria Park to be demolished to make way for 72 new homes. However, the committee deferred its decision on two developments at the meeting.
A site visit is set to take place before the two schemes are considered again. Two smaller scale applications were also approved at the town hall meeting.

Speaking on behalf of developer Property Alliance Group, planning agent Ellie Philcox said the scheme would bring back an 'underused' building back to life. But councillors were concerned by the comments from Historic England and Save Britain's Heritage and called for a site visit before a decision is made.
Former planning chair Basil Curley's bid to defer the decision was backed by rest of the committee. He said: "Once you lose a building, there's no way back."
