The plan for huge regeneration off Chapel Street
manchestereveningnews.co.ukA £2.5bn regeneration scheme in Salford moved forward this week with plans for new homes submitted for approval. A 1.8-acre site at Farmer Norton car park near Chapel Street has been earmarked to build new energy-efficient and affordable houses in the city.
Phase one from developer ECF could see 42 three-bedroom houses built on the land, with more expected in future as part of a separate planning application.
