A revitalised plan to build a 42-home apartment block on the edge of Rusholme has been tabled by developers after being refused last year.
The site on the corner of Wilmslow Road and Grandale Street would consist of 30 two-bed and 12 one-bed flats. The ground floor, currently home to Huqqa Lounge Café, would be split into space for six commercial units for shops and cafes.
Views Holdings Limited have reduced the height of the block, changed aspects of the design and increased parking to 15 spaces following Manchester Council’s refusal in December 2022.

The third floor apartments would fail to provide an adequate standard of living due to limited access to natural daylight and sunlight, the notice also stated. And the siting and scale of the development which would back on to the pavement in Wilmslow Road would be an 'over-dominant' feature, it said.
