In total, 30 percent of the new homes have been designated as "affordable" housing. The developer is looking to push ahead with more phases of regeneration in Pendleton, creating a total of 2,000 new and refurbished properties as part of its wider plan for the area.

Tahreen Shad, regional partnerships director at Lovell Partnerships, said: “This latest phase is set to be one of the greenest residential schemes in Salford with the transformation of Clarendon Park playing an integral part, alongside the creation of hundreds of new homes. “Our aim is to build communities through industry-leading partnerships, and the regeneration of Pendleton is the perfect example of the significant results that this approach can deliver.
